The Ohio Hepatitis Education Program (OH-HEP) is designed to train primary care providers throughout the state using accessible, on-demand training. OH-HEP’s goal is to improve the health of individuals in underserved communities by building a primary care workforce trained by experts to screen, diagnose, treat, cure and follow persons with chronic hepatitis C. OH-HEP providers receive training on hepatitis C epidemiology, diagnosis, management, curative treatment, follow-up and prevention from disease experts. Thus, providers throughout the state will be equipped with the skills needed to treat patients with hepatitis C in their local communities. This will increase the number of individuals who are identified and cured and help to reduce the number of Ohioans who can transmit hepatitis C to another person.
