Poster: Addressing a Critical Shortage in the HIV Workforce: Design and Evaluation of an Interdisciplinary HIV Student Symposium
By:
- Elizabeth M. Sherman, PharmD, AAHIVP
- Maia Goldenberg
- Marylee V. Wormley, PharmD, BCPS
- Mark Schweizer, DDS
- Jose Castro, MD
- Ana Garcia, PhD
- Silvia Rabionet, EdD
Background:
- Growing deficit of providers specializing in HIV/AIDS stymies efforts to improve care for persons living with HIV (PLWH)
- Joint statement of the American Academy of HIV Medicine and the HIV Medicine Association on the HIV medical workforce
“With the growing number of people living with HIV, a failure to promptly address medical workforce issues could lead to the collapse of the HIV care system – risking lives and the public health of communities across the country”
- One solution to address this issue is engaging more students during their professional curriculum
- We describe the results of a student HIV training symposium conducted at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) as a means to garner interest in HIV and strengthen commitments to provide clinical care for PLWH
