  • 1.  National guidance on face coverings

    Posted 08-13-2020 02:38:00 PM

    The AAMC has compiled the latest scientific information on mask usage from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state and local governments, and public health experts into one commonsense, scientific approach to mask wearing for the public to help prevent and lower the transmission of the coronavirus. This national guidance, The Way Forward on COVID-19: Consensus Guidance on Face Coverings from the AAMC Research and Action Institute, builds on the AAMC's recently released road map to reset the nation's response to the pandemic.

    As we head into the fall, it's critical to remind our communities about the importance and value of wearing masks, including the proper ways to wear a face mask and how to speak with friends and family about the AAMC's consensus guidance on face coverings. We are counting on academic medical centers to continue serving as sources of authority and trusted information to the general public and in your local communities. The AAMC member toolkit includes many resources for you to share this information, and we have recently added social media posts and graphics for Spanish-speaking communities.
