The Ohio Hepatitis Academic Mentorship Program (OH-HAMP) is designed to train primary care providers throughout the state using an in-person and telementoring-based approach. OH-HAMP’s goal is to improve the health of individuals in underserved communities by building a primary care workforce trained by experts to screen, diagnose, treat, cure and follow persons with chronic hepatitis C. OH-HAMP primary care providers will receive training on hepatitis C epidemiology, diagnosis, management, curative treatment, follow-up and prevention from disease experts. Thus, primary care providers throughout the state will be equipped with the skills needed to treat patients with hepatitis C in their local communities. This will increase the number of individuals who are identified and cured and help to reduce the number of Ohioans who can transmit hepatitis C to another person. OH-HAMP is a free, easily accessible training program that will be available to providers across the state. It will meet the needs of both primary care providers interested in providing hepatitis C care and current Ohio Medicaid and private payor requirements. OH-HAMP is designed to build (educate and empower) a mentorship platform that is accessible to primary care providers caring for high risk individuals in every part of Ohio, especially in rural, low resource settings.
