HIV Oral Health Preceptorship Program in New York and New Jersey

The New York State Department of Health-AIDS Institute Oral Health Regional Resource Center in collaboration with the NY/NJ AETC offers a unique chance to participate in an HIV Oral Health Preceptorship Program.

 
HIV Oral Health Preceptorships are available for dentists, dental hygienists and primary care clinicians in New York and New Jersey. These programs are individually tailored to meet the needs, interests and experience-level of the individual provider. Typical sessions are from one to five days and are available for the person with no or very little HIV experience, to those looking for a more detailed clinical experience in an HIV Primary Care Center, or discovering oral pathology. Preceptorship sites are in multiple locations in both states and the actual location will depend on the level of the preceptorship program selected for the applicant following assessment with our Program Director. Tuition for the program is fully covered by a grant from Health Resource and Service Administration (HRSA) and nationally accredited continuing education credits are available from the NYS Dental Foundation and the Dental Hygiene Association of the State of NY.
