Mandatory Long Covid training for primary care providers, pulmonologists, cardiologists, neurologists, gastroenterologists, therapists (possibly other specialists, especially if in hospital setting) *Encourage them to subscribe to & read journals like The Lancet, JAMA, & BMJ.

Develop Evidence-Based Clinical Guidelines/Long Covid standard of care (global)
-Medical schools need to provide proper Long Covid education.
-CME (Continuing Medical Education) should offer updated Long Covid education (accredited online courses, webinars, & workshops).

➡️Long Covid clinics/teams could be helpful to patients if they have the proper Long Covid education/knowledge.

Many patients feel that Long Covid clinics have not been helpful over the years.
In order for Long Covid patients to receive real care doctors/specialists must have knowledge about Long Covid.
Whether we have Long Covid clinics or not--HCWs should be educated about Long Covid.
