Are you working with individuals experiencing long-term symptoms or loss of function from COVID-19? If not, you likely will since a JAMA report estimates that 10% of the 30+ million people diagnosed with Covid will develop long term symptoms. This training will help rehab professionals understand some of the multi-system reactions to the disease. You will learn strategies to address physical challenges associated with Long Covid including pulmonary problems and fatigue.

Cost and Additional Information: $65 for Healthcare Professionals and $20 for Students
