Program Description
The New York/New Jersey AIDS Education and Training Center in collaboration with with Columbia University and the NYS Department of Health AIDS Institute offer HIV education and training programs targeting dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants. The dental education programs are available throughout New York and New Jersey and are designed to meet specific agency and individual needs. Training is available in a variety of formats, ranging from didactic presentations to standardized patient workshops, clinical trainings, clinical consultations, and customized preceptorships. Educational programs are also available for faculty development in dental and dental hygiene schools, dental study clubs, dental societies, and community health centers throughout New York and New Jersey. We work directly with the organization to design and present programs tailored to practitioners’ needs. Length of the programs vary, generally ranging from a one-hour presentation to a multi-day training course. The overall goal of the program is to train dental practitioners to recognize early signs and symptoms of HIV infection and to manage all aspects of patients’ oral health needs. This is accomplished by increasing practitioners’ competence and comfort in providing quality care to patients with HIV disease. The following topics are available for presentation by experienced faculty from New York and New Jersey:
