The American Public Health Association and the National Academy of Medicine are sponsoring a webinar series exploring the state of the science surrounding the current outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States and globally, with a focus on the emerging evidence on how to best mitigate its impact. UNC School of Medicine’s Myron Cohen, MD, is part of an expert panel June 24.


The tenth COVID-19 Conversations webinar will discuss how scientists are learning to treat COVID-19, including presentations on: how scientists have adapted clinical trials to respond to the restrictions and requirements of a pandemic response; best practices in clinical care for those with COVID-19 right now; and promising therapeutics and preventive drugs currently enrolled in clinical trials globally.

Here’s the Expert Panel:
