This ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is for Tribal and community primary care health providers, nurses, pharmacists, behavioral health, and social workers in Alaska to learn best practices and gain competence and confidence in preventing HIV infection with PrEP, preventing HCV and STIs, and caring for Alaska Native/American Indian patients facing HCV-HIV-STI diagnoses. Hosted by ANTHC’s Liver Disease and Hepatitis Program and Early Intervention Services/HIV Clinical Services.

Enduring continuing education is available for the syphilis training, HIV Clinical Update, and PrEP mini-series at www.anthc.org/ak-id-echo.
