PRESENTATIONS:
Simplified Hepatitis C Treatment- Treat All, Cure All with David de Gijsel, MD, MSc, MPH. (10am-10:45am) Treatment of hepatitis C has been simplified and guidelines recommend treating everyone. Treatment of people who use drugs has been shown to be effective. The biggest obstacle to eliminating hepatitis C is lack of testing and linkage to care – an area very suited to behavioral interventions.
Objectives:
• To learn about the simplified treatment guidelines for hepatitis C
• To review outcomes of hepatitis C treatment of people who use drugs
• To understand barriers to care and the role of behavioral experts to overcome those
Caring for People on the Edge with Erin Miers, PsyD & Solomon Hallal, MA, LICSW. (11am-11:45am) Solomon and Erin will be presenting a brief overview of trauma specifically relevant to the prevalence of trauma for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. They will present and discuss the concept of marginalized identities and the role that marginalization has in reproducing stigma and trauma. Solomon and Erin will also be discussing ways that stigma informs cultural ideas about what is aberrant behavior, and will provide strategies for navigating therapeutic work with patients from the LGBTQIA2S+ community who have experienced trauma.
Objectives:
• Identify at least two trauma informed care strategies that can be utilized with LGBTQIA2S+ patients
• Identify two ways we can identify risk for people coming from marginalized populations
• Identify at least one way that stigma impacts care for LGBTQIA2S+ patients and how trauma informed care can help mitigate that discrepancy.
Integrating Harm Reduction into Medical Care with David de Gijsel, MD, MSc, MPH Co-Presenting Anais Ovalle, MD. (1pm-1:45pm) Centering medical and behavioral care on the priorities and aims of an individual improve outcomes, builds trust and increases satisfaction. We will apply harm reduction principles to examples of routine medical care.
Objectives:
• To review principles of harm reduction
• To apply these principles to instances of medical care
• To appreciate the role of behavioral therapists in promoting patient-centered medical care
