As the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths continue to rise, the AAMC has released "The Way Forward on COVID-19: A Road Map to Reset the Nation's Approach to the Pandemic" to dramatically change the nation's approach to the coronavirus pandemic and save lives. The road map includes action steps for elected officials, health professionals, public health experts, the private and public sectors, academic medical centers, communities, families, and individuals. The set of 11 evidence-based actions – both immediate and long-term – set forth a comprehensive, coordinated plan based on AAMC's expertise and understanding of the pandemic, as well as the work of the association in helping the nation's medical schools, teaching hospitals, and health systems respond to the pandemic on the front lines.
As the institutions working in your communities to care for patients, conduct testing for the virus, develop effective treatment protocols, and research possible vaccines, all AAMC constituents are encouraged to share the road map with your colleagues and communities to help us lead the way forward in confronting the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the coming days, we will update the content with additional action items and materials for you to further engage with our communities at every level. For more information and to learn more about the AAMC roadmap, please visit https://www.aamc.org/covidroadmap.
