  • Discuss indications and appropriate use of laboratory tests commonly utilized for the diagnosis and management of COVID-19;
  • Discuss indications, modalities, and considerations in chest imaging for patients with COVID-19;
  • Identify common imaging findings for patients with suspected mild, moderate, severe and critical COVID-19 on chest x-ray, chest CT scan, and lung ultrasound;
  • Relate infection prevention and control techniques and radiation safety measures to improve imaging safety for patients and health workers;
  • Explain the rationale and list the indications for oxygen therapy;
  • Appropriately utilize pulse oximetry in the evaluation and management of patients with suspected COVID-19;
  • Initiate and titrate oxygen therapy via nasal cannula or face mask for patients with suspected COVID-19 requiring oxygen therapy;
  • Clinically classify a patient with COVID-19 as mild, moderate or severe;
  • Identify the risk factors for rapid deterioration and severe disease;
  • Discuss considerations for home care for a patient with COVID-19, including patients with chronic medical conditions, children and pregnant women;
  • Discuss indications for antimicrobial use in COVID-19 patients with suspected bacterial co-infection, give examples of antibiotic regimens, and list indications for discontinuing or changing regimens; and
  • Recognize and manage common acute and chronic infections that may overlap with symptoms of COVID-19 or co-infect patients with COVID-19.
