In October, CTC-RI held the second 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-three participants heard a presentation by Erica Hardy, MD, MMSc on “Diagnosis and Management of Syphilis:  A Clinical Review.” Dr. Hardy is Associate Professor of Medicine and Obstetrics & Gynecology, in the Division of Obstetric Medicine and Infectious Disease at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Participants learned about the epidemiology of syphilis and congenital syphilis, risk factors, screening recommendations and guideline recommendations for treatment and follow up of syphilis. The presentation also included several useful clinical guidance resources for providers and care teams.  A recording of the session is available here. Click here to claim CME/CEU Credits.
