State Medical Society COVID-19 Collaborative
The collaborative began in late March 2020 to assist state medical societies to address the COVID-19 crisis. Speaker have included representatives from over 50 organizations including, the FDA, VA, Indian Health Service, HHS, Google, and Federation of State Medical Boards, industry speakers including Pfizer, Moderna, Eli Lilly, Regeneron, and Phillips. Participants have included over 40 state medical societies. From this effort over 90 accredited webinars and online courses on COVID related issues have been hosted by participants of the collaborative.
We meet monthly to discuss key issues around the COVID crisis, including mental health, disparities, vaccinations, antibody therapy, testing and tracing.
