SUMMARY:Hepatitis B Prevention and Management: What Happens When the Guidelines Fail Us
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nAssessment of Needs\nThis state-of-the-art activity is part of a nationwide continuing education effort for physicians on the evolving challenges of managing relevant viral infections and concomitant diseases and comorbidities. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global health concern. In this webinar\, we will review the epidemiology of HBV infection and the ways that we can prevent infection with a focus on immunosuppressed populations. We will then review treatment of HBV infection\, including patient selection\, medication use\, and monitoring of those with chronic disease. Finally\, we will focus on the role occult HBV infection plays in disease reactivation and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.\nLearning Objectives\nOn completion of this webinar\, learners will be able to:\n\n 	Describe current principles of hepatitis B prevention and the risk of vaccine failure in immunosuppressed populations\n 	Determine when to treat hepatitis B and when or if such treatment should be discontinued\n 	Describe the risks associated with occult hepatitis B and when monitoring and treatment might be indicated\n\nRegistration\nWho Should Attend\nThis webinar is designed for clinical decision makers who are actively involved in managing relevant viral infections and concomitant diseases and comorbidities.\n\nThis activity is also relevant for nursing professionals\, physician assistants\, pharmacists\, and other health care professionals.\n\nIndividual registration is required\, even if you are viewing as a group\, in order to receive CME credit or a certificate of participation.\n\nRegistration closes on Tuesday\, July 13\, 2021\, 9:00 AM (PT).\n\nCertificates will be available after the completion of the evaluation and claim form.\n\nFor more information or questions\, please contact the registration department at registration@iasusa.org or 415-544-9400.\nConflicts of Interest\nIn the interest of maintaining the independence of its continuing medical education (CME) activities\, the International Antiviral Society–USA (IAS–USA) requires all persons with control of educational content (eg\, faculty\, Scientific Leadership Board\, Governance Board\, and program planner) to disclose any financial relationships with ineligible companies (previously defined as “commercial interests”) that they have had within the past 24 months.
