Self Study

The Pacific AETC strongly recommends that trainees assess their learning throughout the program.

Our recommendations include working through some of the cases available at HIV Web Study, provided by the University of Washington and the Northwest AIDS Education and Training Center. For practicing clinicians, this site offers free CME credit. For residents completing our clinical training program, it is required that at least four cases are completed during their week of training, to be documented by printing out the accompanying certificates for each case. In addition, this self-study should be utilized whenever regularly scheduled sessions and/or optional activities are unavailable.

Cases on the Web, provided by the International AIDS Society-USA, also offers case studies. Continuing medical education credit may be available.

Another resource for clinicians' self study is www.STDcases.org, developed by the National Network of STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers. This online STD Case Series provides continuing education for health care practitioners who work with persons with or at risk for sexually transmitted disease.
