Project Firstline is a national collaborative aiming to reach all aspects of the health care frontline. The American Medical Association recruited eight physicians and one medical student to join their director of infectious diseases to develop educational programs targeting knowledge gaps. They have identified 5 critical areas requiring national attention.
