Course Description

Are you screening your adult patients for hepatitis C virus (HCV)? Do you know who’s most at risk of infection with viral hepatitis? According to the CDC, it is estimated that 2.7 to 3.9 million Americans are infected with HCV, but many are asymptomatic and do not know they are infected. The physicians of Illinois have committed to work to end this epidemic by 2030, and effective screening efforts will be a major part of this effort.

Join ISMS and Rockford Yapp, MD, MPH, to learn how you can be a part of eliminating HCV in Illinois.
