Clinical Education Sessions are run in collaboration between ASHM and Sydney Sexual Health Centre (SSHC). These sessions provide updates on important emerging developments in HIV and STIs, giving clinicians opportunities to integrate the latest evidence into diagnosis and management strategies in their clinical settings. They also offer HIV Prescribers the opportunity to earn HIV CPD points.
Clinical Education Sessions are run every second Wednesday and generally consist of a 60-minute Clinical Education Seminar presented by physicians and specialists. These sessions are targeted at sexual health clinicians and cover a range of clinical topics relevant to HIV, STIs, and sexual and reproductive health.
Sessions are delivered virtually via Zoom online webinar.
