Dr. Fred Poordad, professor of medicine in the Long School of Medicine, was interviewed recently for a series of short videos on hepatitis C and about agents he’s using in clinical practice, the impact of new CDC guidelines recommending screening all adults at least once in their lifetime, the effectiveness of telehealth for patients, particularly in the last few months amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it’s important to better educate the population on the risk of HCV to cut the new infection rate.
