Foundations in HIV Medicine Online Course (Non-credit)
Course Description
Infectious diseases kill more people worldwide than any other single cause and are among the most common reasons for hospitalization. Infectious diseases is a dynamic field, and new challenges have emerged facing primary care practitioners in the outpatient setting and hospitalists in the inpatient venue. Most infections are cared for, and most antibiotic prescriptions are written, by PCPs and hospitalists—not infectious diseases specialists.
This online course is a comprehensive eight-module online activity covering key aspects of HIV care, including epidemiology, immunology, antiretroviral therapy, and primary care considerations. It explores comorbidities, opportunistic infections, PrEP guidelines, and co-infections such as hepatitis and tuberculosis. Designed for healthcare providers, this course offers an in-depth understanding of HIV management, prevention strategies, and the latest advancements in treatment.
Who Should Enroll
This activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, advanced practice providers, and allied health professionals in the fields of emergency medicine, family practice, infectious diseases, internal medicine, and public health.
Objectives
After participating in this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:
- Describe the immunopathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and prevention of HIV.
- Name the agents recommended for inclusion in first-line anti-retroviral therapy (ART) to facilitate selection of initial treatment regiments for newly diagnosed patients, and to acquire a strategy for managing ART resistance and treatment failure.
- Recognize common comorbidities and complications of HIV, including opportunistic infections, and to understand their management.
- Identify primary care considerations for care of people living with HIV, including vaccinations, substance use disorders, STI prevention and cancer screenings.
- Diagnose and treat co-occurring chronic infections (Hepatitis C and B, and latent tuberculosis) in people living with HIV.
