AMA collects information for physicians, public in Zika Virus Resource Center

The American Medical Association has created a digital clearinghouse to store all of the relevant information on Zika virus being released on an almost daily basis from organizations like the CDC, the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization.

The information is intended to help physicians stay up to date about the infection, provide education about symptoms and detection, provide tools for how to communicate with patients about exposure risks and prevention and offer resources for educating medical staff on Zika. 

The resource center, found here, will be updated as important news, recommendations and guidelines emerge.
