Over the last few months, many young health professionals have passed from university exams to Covid departments: new graduates or newly specialized who as soon as they entered the world of work found themselves "on the front line".

One of them is Andrea Devecchi, 30, food science and nutrition specialist at Sperino Hospital in Torino (Italy), who explains why Indirect Calorimetry is so important in ICU to provide the correct nutritional support on Covid patients.

Francesco Galli, 32, new specialist in Internal Medicine, was so impressed by the experience in the Covid department of the Spedali Riuniti in Livorno that he has now decided to dedicate himself to a further training course in Anesthesia and resuscitation in Turin.
