The Long-CO (Long School of Medicine COVID-19 Medical Student Response Team) Evidence-based Medicine Team is composed of medical students and faculty advisors. The medical students formed four sub teams: Epidemiology, Diagnostics, Clinical Presentation, and Treatment to review current literature and create executive summaries and information sheets summarizing the literature for use by clinicians throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
