Long COVID CME Course

By: AAFP News

AAFP News (05/05/22)

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) developed a continuing medical education (CME) activity focusing on long COVID that began with an hour-long live webinar. The "COVID-19: Managing Short- and Long-term Effects on Patients and Communities" course continued with an online-only activity that was available soon after. The live webinar included a panel moderated by Robert Dachs, MD, with the Ellis Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program in Schenectady, New York. Joining him was Albany Medical Center pulmonologist Boris Shkolnik, MD, and two long COVID patients. Participants should be able to identify clinical presentations of SARS CoV-2 infection, gauge patients' experiential perspectives of infection and ongoing symptoms, and combine known risk factors with current and developing therapeutics. The second course segment includes the recorded webinar and a six-session video series. The sessions cover virology, pathophysiology, and patient presentation of COVID-19; acute COVID-19 patient management; long-term effects of infection; ascertaining patients at higher risk for severe symptoms; and the family physician's role in the public health response to a pandemic or public health emergency.
