Antiretroviral therapy has had the benefit of greatly extending the lifespan of people with HIV (PWH).Currently, over half of PWH are aged 50 or older and often live with a higher burden of comorbidities and related treatments, in addition to social stigma and loss of community. To improve the clinical management of older PWH, it is essential to gain a deeper understanding of the unique and diverse needs of this ever-growing population. Join this year’s Advanced Clinical Workshop to learn from Kristine Erlandson, MD of The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, who will share her perspectives on healthy aging with HIV. Discussion will moderated by Kartikey Acharya, MD of the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Continuing education credits will be available for this meeting, pending accreditation. In order to preserve the legal protections afforded the peer review process, attendance at accredited programs is limited to clinical providers who can contribute clinically and professionally.
Intended Audience
Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, Social Workers and other providers engaged in the clinical care of older populations who may have HIV.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the 5 M’s of Geriatric Care.
