Didactic Education on Viral Hepatitis Elimination within Medical School Curricula in the United States

Survey results show similarities, variability, and gaps in topics devoted to viral hepatitis education across United States medicine curricula. Most programs required hepatitis education in their curricula, many discussed HBV and HCV screening, and few discussed hepatitis elimination. To support national viral hepatitis elimination efforts, ideally, all medical schools should provide education on (1) screening, (2) linkage to care, and (3) national elimination strategies to better equip all future physicians to work toward viral hepatitis elimination.
