Ryan White 2012 Grantee Meeting

HRSA’s AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) programs have developed multiple interventions to support national HIV/AIDS strategies (NHAS), both in the US and Internationally.  This panel presentation will highlight three aspects of those interventions as they focus on developing a competent HIV healthcare workforce:  1) the coordinated response of the domestic AETC program linked to the three goals of the US NHAS, 2) relevant best practice examples of the International Training and Education Center for Health (the International AETC) across 14 countries, and 3) a training evaluation framework and tools developed to assist training program planners with developing programs with the best chance of demonstrating their desired outcomes.  The combined 35 year experience of the AETC programs, with lessons informing domestic and international efforts, underpins this work.

Learning Objectives:    

• Participants will be able to describe the training framework used both domestically and internationally to build a competent HIV health workforce.
• Participants will be able to identify tools for planning trainings that will likely produce the outcomes they desire.
• Participants will recognize key strategies used by the domestic AETC program which support the goals of the US National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
