Knowing and understanding one’s professional ethical standards are necessary for the provision of services. This workshop will discuss the application of professional ethical standards within a correctional environment. Because not every conceivable situation can be covered in the written standards, we will educate and increase awareness of participants through discussion of relevant case examples. Special emphasis will be given to the role of conflict often encountered while providing competent medical and mental health care in a correctional setting. Topics covered will include confidentiality, competence, identifying the “client”, collaboration and relationships and self-care.

C-4C The Virginia Department of Correction Hepatitis C Treatment Expansion (CE, CME) Room 126B Track: Healthcare The prevalence of Hepatitis C (HCV) infection is higher in corrections when compared to the general population. Dr. Jamie Smith has been instrumental in expanding the testing and treatment of HCV within the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC). In 2019, VADOC began offering opt-out testing to all VADOC inmates during entry and opt-in testing for all inmates being released. Dr. Smith also created a pharmacist-led HCV treatment program utilizing telemedicine to see inmates statewide. VADOC has leveraged partnerships with VCU and UVA to expand treatment. Correctional systems must continue to improve their testing and treatment strategies for HCV infection to help achieve the goal of eradication in the United States. Learning Objectives: • Identify barriers to Hepatitis C Treatment within corrections. • Review successful strategies for implementing a pharmacist-led HCV collaborative practice. • Access opportunities for advancement within the treatment of HCV in corrections.
