The AMA recently published an article on their website describing how the organization is supporting physicians during the COVID-19 outbreak, a national emergency as declared by the US federal government. Since the COVID-19 outbreak began, the AMA has been giving clinical direction to physicians according to information gained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This information aims to help protect health care professionals from contracting the virus.
To provide physicians with instant access to the most up-to-date information on COVID-19 released by the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO), the AMA has developed the Physicians Guide to COVID-19 and a COVID-19 online resource center. The resources are designed to provide physicians with answers to important questions, guidance on how to manage patient concerns, and information on safeguarding their practices. The AMA’s Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Network also serves as a free and comprehensive resource on COVID-19 since it includes epidemiological information and infection prevention and management recommendations.
