STI Best Practices ECHO® Learning Series: Chlamydia and Gonorrhea

STI Best Practices ECHO® Learning Series:  Chlamydia and Gonorrhea

In December, CTC-RI held the fourth of six ECHO® learning sessions in its Best Practices in Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) in Primary Care:  ECHO® Learning Series generously funded by United Healthcare. Thirty-four participants were educated on the current recommendations and guidelines for screening and treatment of chlamydia and gonorrhea by Matthew Perry, MD, ScM. Dr. Perry received their medical degree from the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University and is a primary care provider at Providence Community Health Center’s Crossroads clinic where they oversee PCHC’s street-based medicine program. Participants learned about clinical presentation of the diseases, which are often asymptomatic, testing, treatment and prevention protocols. A special focus of the presentation was the health equity impact for the transsexual community.  The presentation also included several useful clinical guidance resources for providers and care teams.  A recording of the session is available here.
