New Web-Based Training on Hepatitis C for Health Professionals

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, May 19, 2000

On May 15, 2000, CDC posted on its World-Wide Web site an interactive web-based training program titled "Hepatitis C: What Clinicians and Other Health Professionals Need to Know." The program is at http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis.

This program provides users with up-to-date information on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and HCV-related chronic disease. Users also can test their knowledge of the material through study questions at the end of each section and case studies at the end of the program. Continuing medical and nursing education credits are available free from CDC on completion of the training. The American Academy of Family Physicians also will grant the academy's education credits on completion of training and filing with the academy.
