APP Roundtable: Navigating Difficult Conversations in CHB

This in-depth conversation explores how advanced practice providers navigate some of the most challenging discussions in the care of patients living with chronic hepatitis B. Drawing from years of real-world hepatology and transplant experience, Jennifer Geremia, PA-C, and Andrea Keller, PA, discuss culturally sensitive communication, addressing stigma, improving health literacy, and building trust with patients and families affected by hepatitis B. The discussion highlights practical strategies for long-term disease management, medication adherence, family screening and vaccination, perinatal transmission counseling, and the importance of regular monitoring to prevent cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and end-stage liver disease. The speakers also address common misconceptions, language barriers, and shared decision-making, offering actionable insights for APPs and clinicians caring for diverse hepatitis B populations. #Hepatology #LiverDisease #ChronicHepatitisB #AdvancedPracticeProviders #GHAPP #TransplantHepatology #PatientCommunication #CulturalCompetency #HealthLiteracy #LiverCare #ChronicDiseaseManagement
