Interactive Workshops

The Pacific AIDS Education and Training Center at USC offers dynamic, interactive skill development workshops for providers, nurses, and other health care professionals.

Our skill development workshops can be provided onsite at Community and Migrant Center Clinics, other community agencies, or correctional facilities, including L.A. County Jail. Programs are designed based on the clinic needs. Workshops are generally two to four hours in length.

Many of our workshops feature the use of standardized patients. Standardized patients are actors who are carefully trained to portray real patient cases. The standardized patient workshops are specifically designed to offer practitioners an opportunity to practice skills in interviewing and counseling on selected topic areas.

Individualized workshops can be designed especially for primary care dental practitioners, nurses, and other health care professionals to address the needs and interests of clinicians and clinics.

Types of Workshops

There is normally no cost to clinics or participants for this training. The Pacific AETC receives funding from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to provide education and training services for healthcare professionals.

We can provide CME credit through the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California
