Webinar series explores COVID-19 challenges

The Center for Continuing Education is coordinating a COVID-19 webinar series intended for physicians, nurses and other health care professionals throughout Nebraska and the region who care for COVID-19 patients.

The series will begin Tuesday, May 26, at 1 p.m. when Kelly Cawcutt, M.D., assistant professor in the UNMC Division of Infectious Diseases, discusses “Recognition, Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19.”

The webinars, which include topics such as “Mechanical Ventilation 101,” “Kids and COVID-19” and “COVID-19 and the Cancer Patient,” will feature UNMC experts addressing a wide variety of clinical and related topics that will help frontline providers address various aspects of patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
New webinars will be added as more information and research becomes available, with the goal of ensuring that primary care providers and critical access hospitals are equipped to manage patients with COVID-19.

Continuing education credit is available. See more information, including a schedule of the webinars.
