AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (5.00 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (5.00 hours)

The Southeast AETC began hosting HIV Champions Academy events in 2018 with the aim of training clinicians who see a low volume of people with HIV and would like to begin treating these individuals in their health centers. With so few people pursuing a career in Infectious Diseases these days, low volume providers are the future of HIV care.  The goal of the Champions Academy program is to motivate attendees to share and apply their knowledge upon returning to their practice, where they can be on-site advocates and champions for quality HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.
