Program Description
The presence of multiple new COVID-19 variants and subvariants has rapidly shifted strategies for treatment and prevention. Clinicians struggle to stay up to date with a rapidly changing field that has remained a public health concern, with shifting guidelines, Emergency Use Authorization status, and challenges with logistical implementation. This series of breaking news activities will discuss the latest news in COVID-19 variants, treatment guidelines, special populations, and any other news important to clinical practice. The series seeks to answer clinicians’ most important questions with up-to-date information.
