Join Jesse Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, President of the American Medical Association (AMA), and Jonathon Mermin, MD, MPH, Director of the National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service, as they discuss a new toolkit from the AMA to help community health centers and emergency departments routinely screen for these infectious diseases. Routine screening for and early detection of HIV, STIs, viral hepatitis and latent TB infection are critical for the health of our communities as these infections can have an asymptomatic stage which may prevent individuals from seeking the testing needed. Routinely screening for these infectious diseases can effectively identify these infections creating opportunities for treatment and prevention. The AMA s HIV, STIs, Viral Hepatitis and LTBI Routine Screening Toolkit is specifically designed to help clinicians in community health centers and emergency departments overcome barriers and integrate screening into routine patient care. During this live session, the first in the series, Dr. Ehrenfeld and Dr. Mermin will give an overview of the toolkit and its importance, then explore how the toolkit supports community health centers and emergency departments in two focus areas: implementing opt-out screening and providing care team training. This is a live event that will occur on the date and time indicated above. Click the RSVP button above to proceed with event registration.
