Clarifying Evidence-Based Information
The COVID-19 Clinical Education Series: Clarifying Evidence-Based Information project was born from the urgency created by the continuing worldwide COVID-19 crisis. The impact of this pandemic is exacerbated by health inequities and misconceptions about disease prevention and treatment. This project is a collaboration between Harvard Medical School and diverse members of the scientific community to disseminate timely, accurate and evidence-based information regarding COVID-19 to a worldwide audience.
