NCPCR COVID Dissemination Materials

The Network for Community-Engaged Primary Care Research (NCPCR) is a single, integrated scientific effort between the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and OCHIN. Part of that effort was to disseminate educational materials around COVID-19 and Long COVID to dispel misinformation to the healthcare SafetyNet and nationally.

A Doctor looks at a patient as they speak to them about their health.

We have provided the following materials for that purpose. Please download and disseminate to patients, clinicians and staff as needed.
