Program Description
This program provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the ever-changing management of patients with COVID-19 who present to the emergency department. The session features in-depth case studies to encourage retention of the lessons and provide new perspectives on the management of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The case studies will focus on different issues facing clinicians, such as identifying patients who would benefit from monoclonal antibody therapy and best practices for incorporating agents authorized for emergency use into the care of hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Strategies for administering neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, such as referral to local infusion centers or developing in-clinic infusion capabilities, will also be discussed.
Target Audience
This CME initiative is designed for HCPs who are involved in the care and treatment of patients with COVID-19, including physicians, NPs, PAs, nurses, and pharmacists across emergency medicine, primary care, family medicine, infusion centers, and the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Learning Objectives
After completing the CME activity, learners should be better able to:
- Assess the rationale for the use of new virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to mitigate the risk of viral resistance to therapy
- Critique the efficacy and safety of new virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibody therapies and other therapies approved for emergency use in all patients who test positive for COVID-19
- Develop in-clinic infusion capability in order to administer new virus-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to patients with COVID-19 at the point-of-care
- Use guidance and resources developed to promote safe and responsible use of infusion therapies for treating patients with COVID-19
