About this Program

The COVID-19 Clinical Forum 2024 was a series of 2 online interactive meetings (90 minutes each) that provided continuing education to a wide range of healthcare professionals, including infectious disease doctors, pulmonologists, and virologists.

The program encompassed a broad range of topics, from COVID-19 epidemiology, treatments, post-COVID conditions & clinical manifestations, clinical management, pathophysiology, prevention, and vaccines, to diagnostics and public health strategies.

This program is continuously updated as new information emerges and provides the latest COVID-19 data from renowned experts to clinicians worldwide.
