The current coronavirus pandemic has forced a dramatic shift in the way clinicians practice medicine, including the way we communicate with our patients. The pandemic has both facilitated and challenged serious illness conversations between providers and patients. Furthermore, telemedicine has emerged as a major practice across the globe. Benefits of which include greater involvement of supporting family members while drawbacks involve socioeconomic barriers that limit high quality interactions between provider and patient. This commentary aims to highlight the evolution of communication strategies over this unique time in hopes of promoting reflection and change to improve our communication strategies at the individual and institutional level.
