HIV/COVID-19 Mini-Residency

Chicago, IL US
April 12, 2023 to April 14, 2023
The mini-residency is a three-day intensive educational experience in HIV, COVID-19, and related co-morbidities. Lectures on a variety of HIV and COVID-19-related topics are interspersed with case studies where participants can immediately apply the lecture information to patient situations. Currently, the HIV care continuum reflects the need to routinely screen for HIV and link those diagnosed to consistent medical care. This provider-focused didactic model allows clinicians to expand their knowledge about HIV to enhance their patient care skills and progress their patients successfully along the care continuum.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, including prescribers such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists, who are committed to the treatment and care of patients living with HIV, COVID-19, and other related conditions.
