IDCR, a forum for correctional problem solving,
targets correctional administrators and HIV/AIDS and hepatitis care
providers including physicians, nurses, outreach workers, and case
managers. Continuing Medical Education credits are provided by Medical Education Collaborative to physicians who accurately respond to the questions on the last page of the newsletter.
The
editorial board and contributors to IDCR include national and regional
correctional professionals, selected on the basis of their experience
with HIV and hepatitis care in the correctional setting and their
familiarity with current HIV and hepatitis treatment. We encourage
submissions, feedback, and correspondence from our readership.
