Barriers to treating Lyme disease: What the data shows

Course overview: In the first study of its kind, two Lyme disease experts gathered data on a question frequently asked by tick-borne disease patients: Why is it so hard to find a Lyme-treating physician, when the need is so great? There are 476,000 new Lyme cases annually, reported from all 50 states, per the CDC. This course answers these questions based on data from a survey of 155 clinicians from 30 states who treat Lyme patients. The study’s goal was to identify the problems that clinicians face when treating these patients, a first step to overcoming these obstacles.
