Funding Information: The content of this Multi-Disciplinary Consensus Guidance Statement was developed in consultation with the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) PASC Multi-Disciplinary Collaborative, comprising 34 PASC Clinics (www.aapmr.org/PASC-guidance) that contributed to the development of the consensus statements via individuals working in their Post COVID/PASC Clinics or from their unique expertise in the assessment and treatment of PASC in their personal, expert capacity. The views and opinions expressed by Collaborative participants are their own and do not reflect the view of any organization. This Statement reflects a Writing Group collaboration, where the clinical lead is listed as the first author and writing group members are listed alphabetically; this is not a reflection of seniority or contribution level. This Consensus Guidance Statement reflects input from patient communities, and the authors thank the following organizations and individuals for their input during the Collaborative writing process: the Patient-Led Research Collaborative, Angela Meriquez Vazquez, MSW, Long Covid Patient and Advocate, and Lauren Nichols, Long Covid Patient and Chronic Illness Advocate. The authors would like to specifically acknowledge the contributions of the PASC Collaborative Co-Chairs: Dr. Ben Abramoff and Dr. Eric Herman. We would also like to acknowledge and extend a special thank you to Kavitha Neerukonda and Michael Graves, AAPM&R, for their relentless efforts in the formation of the PASC Collaborative and directing the constantly evolving aspects of this work.
