NAM Members’ Response to COVID-19

Since our founding in 1970, members of the National Academy of Medicine have been on the frontlines during public health crises in the United States and around the globe. That tradition continues today as NAM members respond to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

COVID-19 has impacted economies, communities, and lives around the world. As new information on transmission, prevention strategies, and treatment is developing in real time, NAM members are conducting, publishing, and funding research to understand the long-term effects of COVID-19 and develop a safe and effective vaccine against the virus. They are treating patients and developing clinical guidelines to improve care quality and access, roll out and support telemedicine services, and diagnose cases of COVID-19. NAM members have been communicating with the general public, policy makers, and media to dispel misinformation and provide updates on the global response to the pandemic. As racial and ethnic minority communities in the United States experience disproportionate burdens from COVID-19, NAM members are speaking out as social justice advocates and champions for health equity.

In these ways and countless others, NAM members are an integral part of advancing health and well-being during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.
