Nevada AIDS Education and Training Center
The Nevada AIDS Education and Training Center (NV AETC) is part of a federally funded nationwide network of programs whose mission is to provide up-to-date scientific and clinical care information and education to health professionals. We conduct an ongoing series of educational programs in formats ranging from on-site conferences to satellite broadcasts. All programs are conducted by expert faculty. We also serve as a resource to health professionals in Nevada, linking them with consultants and assisting them in accessing the most up-to-date information in order to prepare them to provide high quality, compassionate care to their patients with HIV.
We have two branch offices in Nevada. Las Vegas and Southern Nevada are served by the Las Vegas AETC and Northern Nevada and parts of Northern California are served by the Northern Nevada AETC located in Reno at the Center for Education and Health Services Outreach.
The Nevada Area AETC resource guide is now available. Download here.
Our programs serve physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dentists, social workers, health educators, and other health professionals.
