Wisconsin outpatient settings are increasingly becoming where patients learn of their HIV status for the first time. Participate in this two-part training series to gain the knowledge and skills required to diagnose HIV and handle resulting tests in an effective, non-stigmatizing manner. You’ll also learn the current reporting requirements for the state of Wisconsin. Register for both interactive programs today and add them to your calendar to set your clinic up for success!
Participants are strongly encouraged to register for and complete both sessions in the series due to the structure of the curriculum. Participants who complete Parts 1 and 2 plus the series evaluation may download a certificate of completion from their MATEC participant dashboard.
