2nd Demystifying Long COVID North American Conference 2025

General
What's New

About this Program

This conference aims to raise awareness, clarify misconceptions, promote understanding, and stimulate discussion amongst healthcare professionals, investigators, policymakers, and community representatives on the clinical manifestations, management, plausible preventive and therapeutic options, and public health challenges related to long COVID (or post-acute sequelae of COVID-19).

Knowledge of symptom-specific testing and diagnostic recommendations for Long COVID is still limited. The possible protective role of vaccination, as well as the possible effect of antiviral and other treatment strategies, remain an extensive area of research. This highlights the importance of sustained medical education and regular updates on guidelines.

The program will feature state-of-the-art lectures, case presentations, and interactive sessions tailored to address educational needs in global healthcare settings. Ample time is reserved for debates and panel discussions to enhance knowledge exchange and reinforce the implementation of clinical guidelines and recommendations.

This will be done in the unique context of the COVID-19 pandemic considering regional differences in epidemiology, morbidity and mortality, access to vaccines, tests, and medications, health system capacity, and public health measures.
