Project Goals
The goal of this MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training Center (MAAETC) project is to create a Prevention Community of Practice (P-CoP) focused on increasing HIV testing and use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) knowledge and readiness to prescribe in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). As a result, increased numbers of health professionals at FQHCs will be able to competently deploy evidence-based prevention strategies, including PrEP, that focus on people who are at risk for HIV. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) supports this initiative to partner with Ending the HIV Epidemic-funded FQHCs in the MAAETC region to increase the numbers of health professionals prepared to provide PrEP, including improving access to care and patient outcomes.
Project Plan
The programs that will be used to accomplish these goals include:
- Monthly CoP (web-based with Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC FQHC colleagues)
- Share CQI goals; Learn best-practices implementing PrEP and other prevention strategies
- Training/Technical Assistance (On-going, web-based and on-site when permitted)
- Evidenced-based prevention strategies; HIV testing; Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) start, and PrEP
- Webinar series - prevention science and clinical interventions such as rapid ART start, HIV testing, and PrEP (including PrEP telehealth)
- MAAETC Clinician Consultation
- PrEP Clinical Preceptorships
