Subject: [MCOH-EH] Free Webinar on Moving Beyond the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST)

The Tuberculin Skin Test was developed in 1907.

While it was highly effective in the US for most of the 20th century, it no longer meets the needs of the 21st century.

Join us for a free webinar and live Q&A with Dr. Juzar Ali and learn about more effective TB testing methods.

You have two opportunities to participate in this webinar:

Tuesday, June 11, 2019 2:00 to 3:00 PM (ET)

Wednesday, June 19, 2019 1:00 to 2:00 PM (ET)

Juzar Ali, MD, FRCP(C), FCCP LSU Alumni Klein Professor of Medicine Section of Pulmonary/Critical Care at LSU Health Sciences Center Director LSUHSC-Wetmore Mycobacterial Disease Program New Orleans, Louisiana

At the end of the presentation and discussion participants will be able to:

· Describe the diagnostic immunological testing options available for TB screening

· Outline current screening recommendations

· Evaluate the differences, advantages, and disadvantages among TB screening options

· Identify specific advantages of IGRA testing in challenging clinical, public health, and employee health settings in the US
