On December 1--2, 2011, CDC's Division of Viral Hepatitis will host a symposium titled, Identification, Screening, and Surveillance of HCV Infections in the Era of Improved Therapy for Hepatitis C, where international experts will present their latest perspectives and findings regarding HCV screening and surveillance, and roundtable discussions will be held to promote an exchange of ideas.
