SUMMARY:CANCELED FOR AUGUST: USET Infectious Disease ECHO
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Due to the USET Tribal Best Practices Conferences occurring this month\, the Infectious Disease ECHO is canceled for August. We look forward to speaking with you in September. \n\n \nWe invite you and your staff to participate in the Infectious Disease ECHO. This ECHO merged the previous COVID-19 and Hepatitis C ECHOs and will focus on a different topic every month. Additionally\, clinical cases are encouraged to be submitted to gain insight into healthcare recommendations from other medical providers working in the field.  Beginning in March 2024\, this no-cost telehealth series is held on the second Wednesday of every month at 1:00 pm Central/2:00 pm Eastern. \nEach session is one hour in length and provides an opportunity for participants to: \n\nLearn about emerging infectious diseases\nGain skills on treating different infectious diseases\nContinue to stay up to date on COVID-19\n\nWho should attend? Tribal Nation health directors\, clinic staff\, physicians\, nurses\, Tribal Epidemiology Center staff\, and anyone supporting Tribal Nation citizens through the health sector are welcome to join. \nRegistration: Register in advance for the session. You ONLY need to register ONCE for the series. Once you register\, you can download the reminder to your calendar with the Zoom information. \nContinuing Education: This activity will offer CE credits for a variety of professionals. More information will be provided at a later date.\n \n  \nFor questions\, please contact Gabbie Niski\, USET THPS Infectious Disease Program Manager at gniski@usetinc.org or Bryan Hendrix\, USET THPS Quality Improvement Data Analyst\, at bhendrix@usetinc.org.
