The work of the writing committees is supported exclusively by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation without commercial support. All participants were required to disclose relationships with industry and other entities. The content of this Multi-Disciplinary Consensus Guidance Statement was developed in consultation with the AAPM&R PASC Multi-Disciplinary Collaborative, composed of 41 PASC Clinics (https://www.aapmr.org/PASC-guidance) or institutions. As members of the PASC Collaborative, individuals working in their Post COVID/PASC Clinics or from their unique expertise in the assessment and treatment of PASC provide content expertise to the development of a series of consensus guidance statements. The views and opinions expressed by Collaborative participants are their own and do not reflect the view of any organization. This consensus guidance statement reflects a writing group collaboration where the clinical leads are listed in the first author positions and remaining writing group members listed alphabetically. 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: Benjamin Abramoff, MD, MS, Eric Herman, MD, and Jason Maley, MD, MS. We would also like to acknowledge and extend a special thank you to Kavitha Neerukonda, JD, MHA 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.
