Individuals with COVID-19 fall across a wide spectrum of care, ranging from critical illness to asymptomatic infection. As we approach the end of the second year of the pandemic, it has become apparent that many COVID-19 survivors, regardless of the severity of their illness, are experiencing long-term effects that impact their nutritional status and functional recovery. Using a case-based approach, this webinar will highlight the nutritional and functional recovery challenges faced by COVID-19 survivors and the important interplay between the two. We will also discuss pragmatic approaches to addressing these challenges.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Recognize the similarities and differences in care needs for COVID-19 survivors across the continuum of care.
2. Describe nutrition and functional rehabilitation practices in COVID-19 survivors.
3. Summarize nutrition and physical rehabilitation practice recommendations for COVID-19 survivors
4. Recognize the importance of the provision of multidisciplinary care, with a specific focus on the interplay between care provided by dietitians and physical therapists, in improving outcomes in COVID-19 survivors.
