In July 2020, the AAMC issued The Way Forward on COVID-19: A Road Map to Reset the Nation’s Approach to the Pandemic, a comprehensive plan with 11 evidence-based actions to reset the trajectory of the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite detailed and widely agreed upon recommendations from stakeholders, our nation has yet to act upon lessons learned to strengthen the current and future pandemic response. The United States is, by design, decentralized in its approach to health, making coordination critical to effectively combating a public health emergency that strikes the entire nation.
