Training for New York State (NYS) medical providers on hepatitis C virus (HCV) resistance testing is needed as the landscape of HCV resistance to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) is evolving. This activity will increase New York State providers’ knowledge on HCV resistance testing, including when resistance testing is necessary and how to interpret and act on resistance testing results, in order to ensure that providers can effectively treat patients with HCV.
