Wednesday, February 13, 2019, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, University of Pennsylvania

Academic grand rounds where the presentations cover important and current topics in hepatitis (including viral hepatitis and NASH) and are delivered by top experts in the field. They are designed to be immediately relevant to practicing hepatitis clinicians and many are case-based. The final 10 minutes of each one-hour educational activity consists of a live question and answer period, with the presenting faculty member available to answer questions asked by attendees using the webinar interface. These regular grand rounds programs are intended to provide clinicians with convenient and easily accessible knowledge and clinical skills they need to provide the best medical care for their patients with hepatitis-related treatment needs.

1. Demonstrate increased understanding of the epidemiology of and risk factors for viral hepatitis and NASH
2. Increase the rate of testing of viruses and other conditions associated with hepatitis, such as NASH
3. Demonstrate improved knowledge, competence and clinical practice in terms of the current standards and guidelines for the management of patients with viral and non-viral hepatitis, including those with NASH
4. Demonstrate an improved understanding of the treatment of hepatitis in patients co-infected with HIV or other viral infections

In support of improving patient care, Penn Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
