Hepatitis C: The Basics

Hepatitis C: The basics is a free, 30-60 minute, non-credit, online course developed with our First Nations, Métis, and Inuit partners. It includes:

• basic information about hepatitis C, how it is spread, how to get tested
• the steps involved to get treatment
• 8 mini-videos on how to prepare for treatment
• a side menu for easy navigation to the part of the course you want to see
• pre-post knowledge check quizzes
• a certificate when the course is complete

This course contains basic information designed to help people manage their self-care, whether they are at risk for hepatitis C, newly infected, or have lived with hepatitis C for many years.

We have also heard from health care providers that Hepatitis C: The Basics provides a good basic introduction and overview for providers new to the field of hepatitis C.
