MEETING OBJECTIVES

In this Pfizer COVID-CONNECT internal medicine webinar, ‘Reframing COVID-19 management,’ our international and regional expert panel will review the current COVID-19 landscape and explore the role of internal medicine in a fireside chat, addressing key questions on disease management and remaining unmet needs. Patient case studies will also be used to enhance the value of the session, giving you an opportunity to immerse yourself in the learnings and discuss their practical implementation in the future.

This webinar aims to:

  • Discuss the current COVID-19 landscape, highlighting the high-risk patient populations who could continue to benefit from COVID-19 treatment while we transition into an endemic stage of the disease
  • Re-enforce the role of internal medicine in optimising patient outcomes
  • Review the ongoing shift from a ‘prepare’ to a ‘prepare to treat’ approach in COVID-19 management
  • Provide an overview of the various treatment options available for COVID-19, highlighting the role of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir
  • Discuss how to practically manage outpatients in the context of novel antiviral treatments and the drug-drug interactions associated with their use
