You’re invited to take part in an upcoming online HIV and Hepatitis C Testing course!
CATIE is partnering with PAN to deliver a training course for you and your colleagues on HIV and Hepatitis C Testing. Here is a full course outline. so you can find out more. You may register for the course here.
CATIE’s HIV and Hepatitis C Testing course aims to develop in-depth knowledge of testing technologies, approaches to testing, and how all service providers play an important role in reaching people living with HIV and hepatitis C. This course will not teach participants how to test, but rather, by exploring different approaches to testing and the barriers that exist, service providers come away with strategies to facilitate testing and linkage to care, treatment, and prevention in their communities and with their clients.
This course includes approximately five – six hours of online instruction delivered over four weeks. It includes weekly self-directed modules and collaborative discussion boards facilitated by a CATIE educator, and an interactive online meeting with our educators and fellow students.
