Nurse practitioner/physician assistant education and the management of HCV.
Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss the consequences of the 911 attack on the United States and the concomitant increase in the noted prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus due to the presence of the virus in the blood donors. The authors discuss the background and consequences of infection with the virus, epidemiology, impetus for curricula development, curricular outcomes, curricula modules, and HCV case management for nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs).
