The Clinician Scholars Program is open to minority and minority-serving Physicians, Physician Assistants, Advanced Practice Nurses and Clinical Pharmacists who are licensed to provide care in the Midwest and who also:

• Provide direct clinical care services

• Understand HIV/AIDS fundamentals

• Seek to increase their capacity to diagnosis, manage and/or prevent HIV infection

Practice Transformation Project

The overall goal the regional HIV Practice Transformation Project is to expand, improve, and increase the efficiency and quality of HIV care in the region. MATEC’s approach to practice transformation (PT) is concerned with fundamental systems change for clinics and agencies, understanding that the highest quality and most effective care for people living with HIV involves all parts of their care setting.

As part of the HIV Practice Transformation Project, MATEC-MO works with a federally qualified health center in Kansas City, KS to expand HIV testing and biomedical prevention services.
