University of Washington SharePoint
ICYMI, thanks to our colleagues at the University of Washington for creating a COVID-19 resource SharePoint site to share protocols with the academic medicine community and health professionals around the world:
https://covid-19.uwmedicine.org/Pages/default.aspx 

On this site, you'll currently find:

• Screening and Testing algorithms
• Policy Statements

We recommend NOT downloading these resources as they are being frequently updated on the SharePoint site. To the right of the document links, you can see when they were last updated.  Feel free to reach out to the UW team directly with questions and recommendations at covid19@uw.edu.

What are the most informative articles, papers, or interviews you've read on COVID-19?
March 5: On Twitter, Ezra Klein started a thread with the prompt, "What are the most informative articles, papers, or interviews you've read on COVID-19?"

The Twitterverse has chimed in to share some great articles and resources that I thought might be valuable for this group to be aware of. I'm including a few links below, but feel free to follow the conversation on Twitter OR reply to this post with your own resources.

• "Experts envision two scenarios is the new coronavirus isn't contained," STATNews https://www.statnews.com/2020/02/04/two-scenarios-if-new-coronavirus-isnt-contained/
• "You're Likely to Get the Coronavirus," The Atlantic You're Likely to Get the Coronavirus

Stephanie,

Thank you for the links to COVID-19 articles.  As we all know by now, most national meetings have been canceled (e.g., AACOM, ADEA, etc.) with more to come soon.  Many medical schools are moving toward online (steamed or podcast) lectures, etc.  There was, as you know, a well-done ZOOM/Phone Conference last week from our group to discuss how SOMs and COMs are moving forward, and the effect on clinical training.

On Twitter, ​Dr. Cary Gross shared, "Let's crowdsource regarding how large academic med centers are providing travel guidance in setting of #Coronavirus." He shared a very preliminary chart on March 6 and asked others to share corrections and additions on Twitter (entire thread is worth a read-through). Since it posted Friday (3/6), he's continued to crowdsource Academic Med Center COVID-19 Travel Restrictions.
