As the HIV epidemic matures, access to primary care providers with HIV expertise will become increasingly important to maintain high quality care. In this changing environment, HIV care may become increasingly decentralized and more broadly distributed among primary care clinicians. Given these changes, how will Ryan White programs and Academic Medical Centers adapt to extend their expertise to Community Health Centers (CHC’s) in rural and underserved communities?

This session will describe the experience of NW AETC ECHO providing telehealth consultations to clinicians in the Pacific Northwest and the application of this technology to the future of HIV care.
