Overview

The NCCC PrEP Champion Preceptorship is an intensive PrEP training and capacity-building opportunity for pharmacists and other clinical health care providers who are interested in further developing their PrEP care-related knowledge and skills. A key goal of this knowledge-based activity is to highlight how pharmacies and/or pharmacists can be integrated into health center PrEP activities. The preceptorship is available to non-physician clinical staff at Ending the HIV Epidemic-Primary Care HIV Prevention (PCHP) awarded health centers*.

* Eligible health centers are listed here: FY 2020, FY 2021, FY 2022 , and FY2023

Learning Goals

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Describe indications, strategies, and laboratory testing associated with the provision and monitoring of different PrEP regimens/schedules.
• Describe the role of the clinical pharmacist and other PrEP team members in identifying, promoting and retaining eligible PrEP recipients.
• Examine the facilitators and barriers to PrEP use and populations experiencing disparities in access to HIV prevention.   

Cost and Eligibility

• Cost: FREE to eligible participants, courtesy of NCCC
• CE Credit: available to Pharmacists, Advanced Practice Providers, and Nurses.
  
• Any non-physician clinician working at/with a PCHP-awarded health center* who is interested in starting or implementing a PrEP program is welcome to apply. To increase pharmacist/pharmacy integration into PrEP services, preference will be given to pharmacists who are connected with a PCHP-awarded health center.
• Each participant must commit to attend every session and obtain advance approval from their supervisor(s) to participate.
