CME Objective
After studying this article, you should be able to:

Statement of Need and Purpose
Although HCV is prevalent in people with SMI, screening for it does not occur in many mental health settings. With the availability of highly effective and tolerable DAA therapies, this is a missed opportunity. Clinicians need education on how implementation of screening and treatment could decrease HCV-related morbidity and mortality among people with SMI.
