The Ohio Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program (OH-HAMP) phase 1 will be held virtually on Tuesday, July 19, from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
OH-HAMP was developed by the Cleveland Clinic in collaboration with Ohio partners. It is modeled after the successful Kentucky Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program. OH-HAMP is designed to train primary care professionsl throughout the state using an in-person and telementoring-based approach.
OH-HAMP’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-HAMP primary care professionals will receive training on hepatitis C epidemiology, diagnosis, management, curative treatment, follow-up, and prevention from disease experts. Thus, primary care professionals 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 cured and help to reduce the number of Ohioans who can transmit hepatitis C to another person.
OH-HAMP is a free, easily accessible training program that will be held at varying locations across the state. It will meet the needs of both primary care professionals interested in providing hepatitis C care and current Ohio Medicaid and private payor requirements. OH-HAMP is designed to build, educate, and empower a mentorship platform that is accessible to primary care providers caring for high-risk individuals in Ohio, especially in rural, low resource settings.
Continuing medical education (CME) credits will be available.
