Measuring Quality to Improve HIV Medication UseRegister Here Button

PQA expanded our program offerings in September 2021 to include a new, 3-hour course on Measuring Quality to Improve HIV Medication Use, to help healthcare professionals implement effective quality improvement programs for HIV medication use. This activity was supported by an independent medical education grant from Merck & Co.

This CE course provides advanced training on HIV-related measurement and strategies to improve medication safety, adherence and appropriate use. It was specially designed to provide participants with practical tools and experiences to begin improving the quality of HIV care upon completion of the program.

The HIV course curriculum includes:
