8th Annual Clinical Intersection of HIV/AIDS: A Practical Discussion of Connecticut's Course Mandates

Saturday, May 18, 2019, 6:30 AM - 4:00 PM, New Haven Lawn Club

Please note the date change to May 2019.

Provisions of the Connecticut General Statutes require that physicians applying for license renewal in the state of Connecticut must participate in at least 1 hour of accredited CME in infectious diseases (including but not limited to HIV/AIDS); risk management (including controlled substances and pain management); sexual assault; domestic violence; cultural competence; and behavioral health, including newly required as of January 1, 2016, the topic of mental health conditions common to veterans and family members of veterans.

As a CME provider for physicians in the state of Connecticut it is important for Yale CME to provide opportunities that meet the state-required topics. Therefore, along with the Connecticut-Local Partner of the New England AIDS Education and Training Center, Yale CME has developed this full-day course that will not only meet the state mandated course requirements to be relicensed, but will also provide valuable information for physicians and other health care providers in the state.

It is highly recommended that physician assistants (PAs) and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) participate in this educational activity to review the latest updates in the aforementioned topics as these topics are required for re-licensure. (For full details on your re-licensure requirements, please contact the CT DPH).

Target Audience: Physicians, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Dentists, PAs, APRNs, RNs, Hospitalists, Fellows, Residents and Students.
