- Recommended testing for both the source patient and exposed healthcare worker
- Follow-up for documented hepatitis C exposure
At the end of this session, the attendee will:
- Discuss post-exposure testing of source patients
- Describe post-exposure testing of exposed healthcare worker
This session is designated for 1.0 hours of continuing education credit.
