Washington State is working towards eliminating hepatitis C (Hep C) by 2030. People who currently or formerly use drugs are at the highest risk for Hep C. Providing Hep C services—such as screening, testing, treatment, and referrals—presents a valuable opportunity to engage this high-risk population, many of whom are already connected to healthcare. This Hep C training workshop is designed to raise awareness and foster interest in the community-based delivery of Hep C services, as well as enhance knowledge and readiness to adopt Hep C-related practices.
Additional sessions for 3 other workforce types are also available: Behavioral Health Staff, Medical Staff, and Administrators. Visit our Event Calendar to find dates/registration for those sessions.
