Preceptorships and Clinical Training
Preceptorships are an intensive clinical training program offered to healthcare providers in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands who have an interest in learning more about the diagnosis and management of HIV/AIDS, opportunistic infections, and co-morbid conditions. Preceptorships provide extensive clinical training and supervised experiences in urban and rural clinics throughout the region, and are available for physicians, dentists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and pharmacists. Other clinical training experiences are also offered and differ from preceptorships in that they are usually of shorter duration, and individuals of other disciplines, such as medical case managers, can also participate.Preceptorship participants can experience 8 to 80 hours of clinical training at adult, adolescent, pediatric, obstetric, and/or family practice clinics where care is provided to HIV-infected patients. Each preceptorship and clinical training experience is structured to meet the unique needs of the individual participant based on his or her previous experience, geographic location, and time available. Lectures, seminars, and small group discussions may enhance the clinical experience. All training provided is consistent with current guidelines from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) or other nationally recognized guidelines when available.
Objectives
Upon completion of a preceptorship, the participant will be able to:
- Identify the role, uses, and complications of antiretroviral therapy as a treatment option according to DHHS;
- Relate the major issues of age and gender appropriate HIV care;
- Identify and treat HIV disease complications;
- Identify and access resources and standard of care protocols that can be immediately applied to any clinical setting;
- Effectively treat and manage co-morbid conditions in the primary care setting;
- State regional-specific legislation about HIV testing, confidentiality, and access to medical care.
