This webinar is the third in a series of three courses on interdisciplinary evaluation and management of the long COVID patient. For optimal learning, please first watch Interdisciplinary Management and Screening of the long COVID Patient and Interdisciplinary Treatment of the long COVID Patient. This lecture will help clinicians apply evaluation and treatment methods to the long COVID population through three case studies that involve interdisciplinary care. By attending this session, participants can expect to feel more equipped to provide intervention to the long COVID population with an individualized, person-centered approach.
