Virginia Hepc and university of washington’s hepatitis c online
Expanding your learning options!
Virginia HEPC is collaborating with the University of Washington Hepatitis C Online to enhance the learning experience of those in our network who register using our learning group (see instructions below). This partnership will provider greater choices for learners who participate asynchronously and those who attend our twice yearly in-person conferences. UW’s comprehensive online platform allows you to obtain additional CEUs, provides the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of hepatitis C treatment, and learn at your own pace.
Recommended Learning Resource
For those interested in expanding their knowledge and preparing to treat hepatitis C, we recommend completing the seven course modules offered through University of Washington’s Hepatitis C Online.
These modules serve as an excellent supplement to VA HEPC training and provide up-to-date, evidence-based guidance on hepatitis C care. Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit is available upon completion of each module. If time is limited, we especially encourage review of:
Module 2: HCV Testing and Linkage to Care
Module 6: HCV Treatment and Monitoring
These two modules will give you a strong foundation to build upon during training.
Check out Hepatitis C Online's new HCV Test and Cure fundamentals module. Health care providers can develop core proficiency in how to screen and diagnose HCV, manage direct acting antivirals treatment, and assess for cure. This highly interactive 5-hour course offers five free CME/CNE/CEs and an optional HCV Test and Cure Training Certificate is available.

Already Completed the University of Washington Hepatitis C Online?
If you have recently completed Hepatitis C Online Course Modules then you’re all set for now! If it has been more than a year, we encourage you to go back to review and refresh your knowledge.
What if I can’t finish the training before attending a Virginia HEPC training?
We understand that things can get busy. Do your best to work through Course Modules 2 and 6 so you’ll get the most out of the in-person conference training, but don’t worry if you have to complete it after the VA HEPC training.
