ART Conference Presentation Template

Vanderbilt’s HIV Clinical Case Conference created by SE AETC PI Stephen Raffanti, MD, convenes each week at the Vanderbilt Comprehensive Care Clinic. It is an interdisciplinary team approach to consensus building regarding the best choice directed therapy for each patient.

At each session clinicians use a standard template to present and discuss every patient being considered for ART initiation or regimen change. Each year, there are over 700 case presentations. ART conferences are attended by 25 or more individuals representing a wide range of disciplines including clinical and research faculty. HIV/AIDS-focused clinical/translational research faculty members typically attend and, through discussions, generate recommendations for providers to discuss with patients.
