  Overview

  In a podcast style discussion, Mike Corvino, PharmD and Cole Swanson, PharmD examine the management of hepatitis A and hepatitis B infection. The availability of immunizations has decreased the prevalence of these viral infections in the U.S., but there are still susceptible patients. It is important that pharmacists and nurses understand who is at risk and recommend preventative measures. This session seeks to explore these topics, focusing on how this information can best be incorporated into daily medical practice.
