These programs should aim to equip primary care providers with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify, diagnose, and manage post-COVID conditions effectively, with a particular interest in programs that address health disparities in the care of marginalized and underserved communities.
Primary care providers play a critical role in identifying, assessing, and managing patients with post COVID conditions.
