STI Best Practices ECHO Learning Series: HIV and PrEP

In November, CTC-RI held the third of six ECHO® learning sessions in its “Best Practices in Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) in Primary Care: ECHO® Learning Series”, generously funded by UnitedHealthcare. Thirty-four participants heard Dr. Philip Chan’s presentation “Clinical Update on HIV Prevention.” Dr. Chan is Brown University Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine and School of Public Health and is Open Door Health Chief Medical Officer, the state’s only community-based LGBTQ+ clinic. Dr. Chan also serves as RIDOH Consultant Medical Director. Participants learned about HIV epidemiology and recommendations for treatment and prevention including guidance for providing PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis).  A clinical case was presented by Dr. Carol O’Shea, of P.R.I.M.A. Pediatrics, followed by an engaging discussion facilitated by Dr. Patricia Flanagan. The presentation also included several useful clinical guidance resources for providers and care teams.  A recording of the session is available here.
