Upcoming Education & Training Opportunities
HealthHIV is always looking for new ways to link primary care providers with education and training opportunities in order that they may gain HIV experience and expertise in HIV testing, treatment, care, and support. Here are a few programs helping grow the number of healthcare providers with the needed expertise and commitment to provide care for HIV positive patients.
**Please note, this is not a complete list of education and training opportunities available and HealthHIV makes no claims as to the availability or eligibility of any opportunity listed. Any questions about these opportunities should be directed to the agency claiming responsiblity.**
HIVMA Minority Clinical Fellowship Program
The HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) created the Minority Clinical Fellowship Program to increase the number of African American and Latino physicians with the expertise to provide clinical care to patients with HIV in the communities most affected by HIV disease. Two one-year fellowships are awarded annually with one targeted to an African American physician and one to a Latino physician interested in pursuing a career in HIV medicine in the United States. During the fellowship year, fellows manage the ongoing care of patients with HIV disease under the supervision of an HIVMA mentor. The award includes a $60,000 stipend plus funding to support benefits for one year.
Applications are being accepted for the 2011 to 2012 fellowship year, which will start on July 1, 2011. Eligible candidates will be physicians of African American or Latino descent; will have completed their residency by July 2010 or be within the first five years of their medical practice; and will have a demonstrated interest in HIV medicine. The program is not intended for physicians that have completed or that plan to complete an infectious diseases fellowship.
An application along with information on current and past fellows is available online at http://www.hivma.org. The deadline to apply for the two fellowships that begin in July 2011 is March 21, 2011.
