GENERAL QUESTIONS
1. What is the purpose of this program?
According to a 2011 Institute of Medicine report, there will not be enough providers trained to handle the number of people who will need HIV testing and treatment. The HIV Clinical Leadership Program is a first-of-its-kind program offering community-based, advanced training for physicians committed to leadership careers in HIV Medicine. With a growing shortage of primary care providers focused on HIV and the continuing need to improve treatment and access to care for people living with HIV, this program aims to develop the next generation of physicians specializing in HIV Medicine.
This shortage of HIV providers was also highlighted as a key issue in the White House’s “National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States: Updated to 2020.” This report calls for “deliberate steps to increase the capacity of systems as well as the number and diversity of available providers of clinical care and related services for people living with HIV.”
2. Does the fellowship program accept international visas?
No, we do not accept international visas at this time.
3. Is there a one-year track in the fellowship program?
No, there is no one-year track in the HIV Clinical Leadership Program as of 2019. We are a two-year program that focuses on building leaders in the field of HIV Medicine. Applicants should only apply if they can commit to completing a two-year program in Los Angeles, CA.
