Overview / Abstract: |
This educational activity is designed to better prepare OB/GYNs to identify patients who should be screened for HCV based on relevant professional society recommendations, appropriately link patients to care, and manage pregnancies of women who have HCV. Expert faculty will provide practical information on HCV screening, confirmatory testing, patient education, and counseling strategies for use within the real-world clinical context of OB/GYN practice. Although HCV affects women across diverse age groups and demographics, pregnancy raises additional considerations and risks for the HCV-infected mother and her unborn child, including mother-to-child-transmission of the virus, for which faculty will share recommendations and management insights. |
