Dear MedChi Members and Maryland Physicians:
Unfortunately, the increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have necessitated a return to our biweekly update calls with the Maryland Department of Health.
On the other hand, we are fortunate to have Dr. Howard Haft, the Maryland Primary Care Program, and the Maryland Department of Health as nimble and knowledgeable partners in our efforts to ensure that you have the information and resources that you need during these difficult times.
All Maryland physicians are invited and encouraged to participate in Dr. Haft's calls. Topics will include vaccine program updates; COVID-19 variants; testing; long COVID-19; monoclonal antibodies; and the long-term outlook for the pandemic. Plus, Dr. Haft always takes time to answer your questions. MedChi will provide no-cost CME credit to attendees who complete an evaluation afterwards.
MedChi will resume our biweekly emails to ensure that you have the registration link for Dr. Haft's calls. You can register now for the September 8 and September 22 calls.
MORE COVID-19 NEWS AND INFORMATION
-
MedChi is moving forward with planning our fall events (Orioles game social event; Presidential Gala; and Fall House of Delegates meeting). I want to assure you that every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety and health of our attendees. We feel confident that our attendees will be vaccinated and will be amenable to any and all safety protocols. Should the COVID-19 circumstances require us to cancel or postpone these events, all registration fees will be fully refunded. We will closely monitor the COVID-19 case rates leading up to our events. We certainly hope to see you this fall.
I hope you find these resources to be helpful. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions and concerns. We are your resource and your advocate, and we're here for whatever you need.
Gene Ransom
MedChi CEO
