perspective of SARS-CoV-2 viral
outbreak investigation. The topics

The live webinar sessions have led to
a number of by-products, including

• A few notable benefits from Online CME are as follow:
• Those who are not able to tune in to the live webinar on Thursday afternoon would be able to obtain CPD points as well.
• CME is important for medical professionals and this is the way we can fight misinformation by empowering our frontliners
(KKM and private sector including GP) with updated KKM COVID-19 knowledge through session with medical experts.
• We can also have analytics on HCWs in Malaysia - their understanding in COVID-19 topics through self-assessment MCQ
and demographic information.

COVID-19 Pandemic, Post-mortem
Findings In COVID-19 Patients &
