New Products Bolster AHRQ Hepatitis C Resources for Clinicians and Patients

Continuing education credits for a streaming video and monograph that summarize evidence about screening for hepatitis C infection are now available at no cost from AHRQ's Effective Health Care Program. The video features Roger Chou, M.D., associate professor of medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics, Oregon Health & Science University, and both resources explore how screening can impact patient outcomes and give health care providers and patients information to help make the best possible decisions. Additional AHRQ resources on hepatitis C testing include the following:
