Hepatitis Technical Assistance Center (HepTAC)
About HepTAC
In 2019, NASTAD launched HepTAC, an online technical assistance (TA) and capacity building center for health department hepatitis programs. The primary goal of HepTAC is to build state and local technical expertise and enhance health department capacity to eliminate viral hepatitis. Direct technical assistance is provided primarily via the online platform using video conference technology to connect NASTAD Hepatitis team staff and its consultants to health department hepatitis staff across the county. Group learning opportunities will occur through calls, webinars, workgroups, a bi-monthly newsletter, a discussion board, an online resource bank, office hours, success stories, mentorship, and courses in the following tracks:
- Hepatitis Program Infrastructure and Workforce;
- Community Engagement and Strategic Planning;
- Harm Reduction and Prevention;
- Epidemiology and Surveillance;
- Testing and Linkage to Care;
- Care and Treatment
- Stigma and Health Equity; and
- Elimination.
Please email hepatitis@nastad.org if you have questions or would like to learn more about HepTAC.
