The 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.
There are two components: Journal Clubs and Clinical Education Seminars.
Presenters — CLICK HERE for a guide on presenting at Themed Journal Club in 2020.
Attendees — if you wish to be registered for webinars for the whole year, please email education@ashm.org.au.
