COVID-19 UPDATE FROM MEDCHI
February 17, 2021
Dear MedChi Members and Maryland Physicians:

As we look toward more snow this week, here's what we want you to know today:

UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENTS


  • Join Sandra Crouse Quinn, PhD, Professor and Chair, Department of Family Science Senior Associate Director Maryland Center for Health Equity University of Maryland, School of Public Health, and a panel of your physician peers to discuss strategies in addressing vaccine confidence in patients on Tuesday, February 23, 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.


  • Join Luma Health on Thursday, March 4, 12:00-1:15 pm for a webinar on "COVID-19 Vaccines: What Physicians Need to Know and Best Practices for Deployment."


NEWS & INFORMATION

  • In late December, the American Medical Association released a COVID-19 Vaccine Messaging Guide. The organization recently made a few updates and adjustments to this guide, including publishing this resource online and translating this information into Spanish, to make it more broadly available to those who may benefit from this compilation of messaging. We encourage you to utilize these tools in your practice.


We are your advocate and your resource, and we're here for anything you need. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for all that you do as physicians, healers, and heroes.
