HealthHIV leverages its expertise supporting CBA for community-based organizations, health departments, and healthcare organizations to design dynamic e-learning courses that can improve health outcomes for people who are at a greater risk of contracting HIV.
The HealthHIV National HIV E-Learning Training Center develops and implements e-learning training to build the knowledge, skills and competencies of HIV prevention staff working in high-impact HIV prevention (HIP) programs across the U.S. The Center offers accessible, Section 508-compliant services and materials via asynchronous learning opportunities (self-paced e-learning, instructional videos, online resources), and blended learning opportunities (combining synchronous and asynchronous modalities).
