The University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health is implementing a four-year project to create an interprofessional HIV/AIDS training program for healthcare providers.
The program will be led by UIC School of Public Health Clinical Assistant Professor Frank Borgers, PhD; Ricardo A. Rivero, MD, executive director for the Midwest AIDS Training + Education Center; and Mary T. Keehn, special assistant to the vice provost for programs and planning for interprofessional education and associate dean for clinical affairs.
