The goal of the training is for participants to learn how to better implement guideline-based screening recommendations for syphilis and congenital syphilis.
Physicians, nurses, and pharmacists can earn CME/CE credit upon completion of the course and post-test.
This training is organized by Medscape.org. To register/complete the training, you must sign up for, or already have, a Medscape account.
Please note that due to elevated rates of syphilis among women of childbearing age in Virginia, currently all pregnant women should receive syphilis screening in the first trimester, early third trimester, and at delivery. This varies from the overarching screening guidelines covered in the training but is consistent with the recommendation of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and other national organizations.
