Long COVID Podcast
Long COVID is a complex condition with a wide range of symptoms affecting multiple organs of the body. Primary care physicians often face challenges in understanding and managing Long COVID due to the lack of clear guidelines and evidence-based interventions. This podcast aims to educate clinicians on how to diagnose Long COVID, manage various symptoms, and how to best support patients with this oftentimes devastating condition. Listen as Dr. Tiffany Walker and colleagues talk about the latest research and report on new discoveries as they happen. New episodes monthly on topics such as diagnosis, post-exertional malaise and chronic fatigue, and brain fog.
