COVID-19 Community of Practice for Family Physicians

COVID Therapeutics

Please join us for the 55th in our series “Changing the way we work” on Friday, January 20, 2023, at 7:55-9:15 am! We will discuss the latest evidence and guidance on outpatient COVID Therapeutics, particularly nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid™). We will introduce a new randomized trial being launched in Canada that seeks to generate evidence on the effectiveness of COVID Therapeutics and discuss how patients in your practice could participate. As usual, we’ll leave time to answer your questions related to COVID vaccines, variants, and more. Please submit your questions at registration to help us plan the session.
