Latent TB Infection (LTBI) Videos for Primary Care Providers

We have updated two of the brief videos in this series on LTBI to reflect the latest CDC guidelines. Though the videos are intended for primary care providers, especially those working in community settings, they may be useful for other providers as well.  

Screening for LTBI and Diagnosing LTBI

Screening for LTBI (10 minutes) and Diagnosing LTBI (15 minutes) are available now; videos on Treatment of LTBI and Monitoring Patients on Treatment for LTBI are in development and will be available later this year.

The video is available online only and can be streamed from our website at: http://globaltb.njms.rutgers.edu/educationalmaterials/productfolder/ltbivideos1.php
