Clinical Education Sessions have been run in collaboration by ASHM and Sydney Sexual Health Centre (SSHC) since 2018. The sessions provide an update on important emerging developments in HIV and STIs, discuss the applicability of results from a journal article to patient population, and give opportunities for clinicians to integrate the latest evidence on a range of clinical topics into diagnosis and management strategies in their clinical settings.
To learn more about Clinical Education Sessions and sign up for upcoming sessions, go to the ASHM/SSHC Clinical Education Sessions webpage.
If you are a HIV prescriber, you can claim HIV CPD points for watching past sessions via the MyASHM Prescriber Portal.
