CDC- Hepatitis C Online Course


Hepatitis C Online Course

When a new learning activity pertaining to HCV is released online this blog provides readers with background information and links to the new video, article or CME.

Recently a "Hepatitis C Online Course" funded by the CDC and brought to you by a collaboration between the University of Washington and the International Antiviral Society-USA (IAS-USA) was launched online.

Hepatitis C patients taking part in the activity are given an opportunity to learn more about the progression of HCV, the evaluation and prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and noninvasive tests for diagnosing and assessing liver fibrosis. Other topics in the online course include a video presentation explaining "Extrahepatic Conditions Related to Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)" which may affect small vessels, skin, kidneys, salivary gland, eyes, thyroid, and immunologic system. This interactive course is offered in a text, video and slide presentation format.
