COURSE OVERVIEW

Assessment of Needs:

The health and economic burden of oral disease on the underserved and disadvantaged is well documented. For people living with HIV in particular, oral disease is a major cause of morbidity. Oral disease affects 40% to 50% of HIV patients, and there are more than 30 oral manifestations of HIV disease. Primary care practitioners who care for people living with HIV play a crucial role in addressing the oral health needs of their patients.

Who Should Attend:

This course is designed for AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) physicians, faculty, administrators, and staff, and Ryan White providers who are actively involved in the medical care of people with HIV/AIDS, specifically those who:

Have a solid, working knowledge of HIV disease management
Provide comprehensive or specialty care for patients with HIV/AIDS
Are currently active in HIV/AIDS research

This course is relevant for practitioners who are involved in HIV/AIDS patient care, including nurse practitioners and other nursing professionals, physician assistants, pharmacists, and others.
