Texas HIV residency program

The HIV Medicine Track is a longitudinal HIV Primary Care experience spanning the PGY-2 and PGY-3 years of residency training. Residents will learn to provide innovative longitudinal primary care to their own panel of continuity patients as part of a multidisciplinary team at Parkland Health's HIV Clinic (ACCESS), working with faculty preceptors who are expert in both primary care and HIV medicine. Residents will also have opportunities to experience inpatient HIV medicine, administration of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and other sexual health care, jail HIV care, management of hepatitis C, pediatric HIV care, transgender HIV care, perinatal HIV medicine, and other elective experiences. Didactics structured around the National HIV Curriculum will provide residents with a strong education in HIV medicine. Participating residents will also have the opportunity to present research and scholarly activity at National conferences. Residents who successfully complete the HIV track will be qualified to take the HIV Specialist certification examination from the American Academy of HIV Medicine.
