The HIV Treaters Case Conference Meetings are MATEC-WI’s signature program for HIV care providers in Wisconsin, linking clinicians from across the state via secure Zoom videoconference for a one-hour, case-based discussion of current issues in HIV care and prevention. Facilitated by key leaders in HIV care, the meetings feature lively discussions of current issues in HIV care and are an important resource for both experienced and novice HIV providers.
Started in 2001 as a venue for a small group of infectious disease physicians in Milwaukee to discuss complex cases of HIV infection and ensure consistent standards of care across the city, the HIV Treaters Case Conference Meetings have evolved into a statewide, interprofessional community of practice, with more than 60 HIV care team members participating in each meeting. The HIV Treaters Case Conference Meetings are supported in part by the Wisconsin DHS HIV Program and made possible through collaborations with providers and staff across the state.
Description
The HIV Treaters Case Conference Meetings are an ongoing series of one-hour case discussions focused on HIV infection. HIV treating clinicians present two cases at each meeting for a facilitated discussion within the group. Participants are connected in real-time via secure Zoom video conference.
