MidAtlantic AETC Provides Capacity Building Opportunities to Organizations and Individual Involved in the Fight Against HIV
Since 1988, the beginning of the MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training Center’s existence, the nation’s health care delivery system has become increasingly complicated. The center leads the way in guiding our region’s hospitals, community health centers, and other providers in applying for federal funding under the Ryan White CARE Act and similar funding sources.
The MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training Center assists facilities with program development, policy modification, and expansion of services, long-range planning, and other capacity-building initiatives. The center also provides technical assistance to improve organizational functioning and offers clinical services.
The Center’s goals include:
- Enhances HIV clinical treatment and prevention skills.
- Conducts clinical mini-residencies for community clinicians.
- Provides expert clinical consultation to ensure “best practices” for treatment.
- Improves access to a comprehensive HIV care system for minorities, hard-to-reach populations, substance users, and women.
- Train providers from minority communities and underserved populations, to build clinical capacity in in those communities.
