Treatment of Hepatitis C Infection in an Internal Medicine Residency Continuity Clinic: Resident Perspectives and Patient Outcomes.

Introduction: Studies have demonstrated that primary care clinicians can achieve the same excellent outcomes in treatment of hepatitis C (HCV) infection as specialist physicians but there is a dearth of literature on experiences and outcomes of treatment of HCV infection in residency clinics. We sought to describe the perspectives of internal medicine resident physicians in one community-based residency program toward treating HCV infection before and after launching treatment of HCV infection within the residency clinic. Further, this study examined outcomes of patients treated by the resident physicians.

Impact of a Process Change on Prevalence of Prescribed Unmeasurable Liquid Doses in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
