A Model for Diagnosis and Management of Hepatitis C in Rural Areas

The hepatitis C virus epidemic is uncontrolled in the United States, especially in the rural Pacific Northwest. Dr. Spencer describes results of a recent randomized trial of a peer-assisted telemedicine intervention to treat hepatitis C among rural people who use drugs. The rapid implementation of these findings into a large scale hepatitis C elimination program demonstrates opportunities for learners to apply novel hepatitis C elimination strategies in their communities.

Dr. Spencer has no actual or potential conflict of interest in relation to this program or presentation.
