Since
1988, CAI has been a Local Performance Site (LPS) for the
Ryan White CARE Acts AIDS Education and Training Center
(AETC) under the New York/New Jersey AETC program coordinated
by the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.
The National AETC Program supports 14 regional centers that
conduct clinical HIV education and training programs for
health care providers.
The
purpose of the AETC program is to improve the care of people
living with HIV/AIDS by supporting state-of-the-art clinical
consultation, education, and training for clinicians serving
this population. Specifically, the program targets providers
serving minority populations, the homeless, rural communities,
incarcerated persons, and Ryan White CARE Act-funded sites,
as well as primary health care clinicians such as physicians,
physician assistants, nurses, dentists, and pharmacists.
Training is also available for health service support personnel
to sustain consistent counseling and treatment adherence.
As a local LPS for the NY/NJ AETC, CAI is capable of designing
training programs tailored to an individual institution
or organization's needs and to the needs of the geographic
region it serves.
