When is the training? The Enhanced Patient Navigation for Women of Color with HIV training is a multi-day virtual training. The training will occur on Tuesday, September 15; Thursday, September 17; and Friday, September 18, 2020. On each day, the training will run from 11:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. All Training Activities will be Conducted via Zoom.
Why should I attend this training? To end the HIV epidemic, stakeholders throughout the country will need to employ effective, evidence-informed approaches to improve health outcomes across the HIV care continuum. One such approach is the integration of patient navigators into the HIV primary care team. The Enhanced Patient Navigation for Women of Color with HIV intervention is an evidence-informed intervention that was replicated within three Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)-funded organizations across the country through the Dissemination of Evidence-Informed Interventions initiative (DEII), a multi-year project funded by the Health Resources and Services (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS).
This training will be an interactive, skills-building, and tailored for direct service and administrative staff who seek to implement a new or strengthen their existing patient navigation program. The training seeks to achieve the following goals:
1) define the core competencies of patient navigators working in HIV care
2) apply core competencies to case examples to build confidence in application of skills commonly employed by patient navigators
3) identify resources that can support patient navigators working with clients and support clinics in integrating patient navigators as part of the HIV care team.
To achieve these goals, facilitators will share evidence-informed models and free tools that can be incorporated into ending the HIV epidemic plans or other work to improve outcomes across the HIV care continuum at a local level. Click here to review a draft agenda for the training.
