AAPM&R will provide consistent updates on our advocacy outreach efforts, the Multi-Disciplinary PASC Collaborative and other relevant information to our Long COVID initiative.

Continuing to Advocate and Lead: COVID-19 Rehabilitation

Thank you to every AAPM&R member who has contributed to our Long COVID efforts so far. Our work is far from over. Continue to stand with us and push for a comprehensive national response to the Long COVID crisis. After the Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC or Long COVID) Collaborative call last week: 

• The cognitive impairment writing group is submitting their final statement on their guidance for publication in July.
• The breathing writing group will meet this month to prepare for the next round of voting on assessment and treatment statements.
• Benjamin Abramoff, MD, FAAPMR, will be representing AAPM&R during a small stakeholder listening session with the White House COVID Health Equity Task Force to discuss Long COVID, social disparities of health and equitable access to care.
