California HIV training programs
California
FHCSD’s HIV Medicine Track provides a longitudinal experience in outpatient management of HIV infection with the goal of realizing competence that allows graduates to incorporate HIV medicine as a portion of their primary care practice. Beginning in their PGY-2 year, family medicine residents participate in a supervised continuity clinic in which they will develop a small panel of patients with HIV. Mentorship is provided by an infectious diseases board-certified physician, and learning is supplemented with online resources and participation in the biweekly telehealth program of the Pacific AETC, the HIV Learning Network.
Program Start: June
Program Length: 2 years (PGY-2 and 3 of family medicine residency)
Applications Accepted: April 1 (annually)
Related Experience/Interests: Residency program with a concentration in HIV
Eligibility: This program exists as a track within an existing ACGME-accredited family medicine residency; therefore, admission is limited to two PGY-2 residents who have been accepted to the family medicine program.
