Course Description

Federal and state public health officials continue to promote the availability of treatment options for mild to moderate COVID-19 illness for non-hospitalized individuals.

Arti Barnes, MD, chief medical officer of the Illinois Department of Public Health, and Dheeraj Mahajan, MD, a private practice internist and geriatrician, will discuss the fiscal considerations for providing outpatient COVID-19 treatments, and the cost effectiveness of the various treatments now available. Additionally, they will share ‘real world’ physician experiences regarding use of therapeutics in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
