Healthcare Worker Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Introduction

The purpose of these films is to spark conversations and establish points to guide discussions about the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that is grounded in clinician and healthcare workers’ experiences. These films were created using footage from interviews of people who agreed to share their stories of working in the First Nations Community Healthsource clinic in Albuquerque, NM, and La Clinica de Familia clinic in Las Cruces, NM, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The interview clips that were selected to make these films represent common patterns seen in the experiences of healthcare workers working in each of these clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic. While participant voices and personal experiences differ, they share the belief that telling their clinic story matters.
