Today’s the day! We’re proud to announce the launch of the Clinical Care Guide: Managing ME/CFS, Long COVID & Infection-Associated Chronic Conditions (IACCs).

For too long, people with ME/CFS and Long COVID have faced a healthcare system that wasn’t equipped to meet their needs. Even the most dedicated clinicians often lack the training or tools to support people with these complex, multisystem diseases.

That’s why this new guide matters!

Developed by the OMF-supported Medical Education Resource Center (MERC) at Bateman Horne Center, this resource offers a practical path forward—one grounded in clinical expertise, research, and the lived experience of patients.

The Clinical Care Guide condenses decades of in-house clinical experience and hundreds of lectures into clear, actionable guidance. It’s designed for any healthcare provider—regardless of specialty or time constraints—to confidently diagnose, support, and care for patients with ME/CFS, Long COVID, and related conditions. 

Whether a clinician is new to these conditions or seeking to refine their approach, this guide offers valuable, evidence-informed direction. 

Download and explore the guide today—and help us get it into the hands of every provider.

Together, we can make quality care the norm—not the exception. Help bring this guide and future training to more providers by making a gift to MERC today.
