How can clinicians prepare for the diagnosis, intervention, and treatment of COVID-19 to be primarily addressed
in the outpatient setting?

MCN’s second podcast episode for our miniseries ‘COVID’s Lasting Impact: Caring for Immigrant, Migrant and Asylee Patients’ is out!

The discussion will include strategies to evaluate the severity of illness with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 as well as factors impacting the risk of progression to severe disease, and COVID-19 treatment options.

Clinicians will learn about the evolving recommendations for treatment and management of COVID-19 for vulnerable patients in the outpatient setting.
