AZ AETC

The mission of the Arizona AIDS Education and Training Center is to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide outstanding care to people living with HIV and AIDS. Physicians, dentists, nurses, mid-level practitioners (NP, PA), pharmacists and mental health workers will have access to training from peer colleagues who possess expertise in the management and treatment of HIV disease.
