Laura Evans on NIH COVID panel of experts
Dr. Laura Evans, professor (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine) was on a panel – representing many disciplines, government agencies, professional societies, and academic and clinical experts – to create the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines.
Drs. Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci praised her work:
“We are proud that, with your help and contributions, the guidelines have been updated 38 times since their first release in April 2020, reflecting our rapidly changing understanding of COVID-19. This has enabled the guidelines to be a ‘gold standard’ for currency and accuracy. We are also proud that the guidelines have been so widely used, with over 27 million page views as of November 21, 2021. Almost half of the page views currently come from outside the United States.”
