Dear MedChi Members and Maryland Physicians:
Happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate!
All Maryland physicians are invited and encouraged to participate in the Maryland Health Department/Maryland Primary Care Program COVID-19 Update Webinars. The webinars are led by Dr. Howard Haft, and topics 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.
You can register now for the September 22 call. All sessions are recorded and posted for those who cannot attend the live session.
