Overview
2023 RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE Description
The 2023 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) CLINICAL CONFERENCE will be held in-person in Portland, Oregon, from Sunday, December 3, to Tuesday, December 5. The RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE will provide state-of-the-art updates on research, care, and treatment issues in the medical management of HIV infection for experienced HIV clinical decision makers.
The 2023 RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE is planned with and supported by the HIV/AIDS Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HRSA) and is sponsored and organized by the International Antiviral Society-USA (IAS-USA). This conference is coordinated through the RWHAP AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) clinician training network. A mix of lectures, case-based interactive presentations, and small-group workshop breakout sessions will be held during the 3 days of the 2023 RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE.
Who Should Attend
Attendance is limited to HIV physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)-funded clinics and programs (specifically for in part A, B, C, and D), who functions as medical director of their clinic. As we are not sure what the status of the COVID-19 pandemic will be in December, we are planning for distanced seating in the main meeting space. This will limit the number of attendees we can accommodate to ensure the health and safety of our attendees. The first 300 registrants will have access to seating in the main meeting room. The next 100 registrants will be in the overflow seating outside the main meeting room, but will still have access to breakout sessions and networking opportunities. At this point, given the limited attendance, there will be a limit on how many can attend from each institution or clinic.
The 2023 RWHAP CLINICAL CONFERENCE will offer limited number of registrations for RNs and PharmDs who are the primary clinical decision makers/medical directors in their RWHAP-funded clinics or programs.
There is no registration fee to attend.
