Our HIV/AIDS Grand Rounds is a CME accredited weekly educational event targeted to HIV providers from San Francisco General Hospital, affiliated Community Health Network clinics, local hospital based HIV clinics and HIV private practices in the Bay area. We are accredited through the University of California, San Francisco Office of CME (MGR 06052, ACCME Provider number 0000302).

Weekly lectures and discussions provide participants with the latest diagnostic, research and treatment information regarding the pathogenesis and management of HIV disease. As a Center of Excellence for HIV/AIDS care in the Bay Area and a top tier academic institution, the Positive Health Program is uniquely positioned to host this rigorous, state-of-the-art Grand Rounds series focused on HIV issues relevant to current practice.

Speakers include medical doctors, researchers, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and affiliated HIV providers such as pharmacists, social workers, and counselors. Lectures are an engaging blend of clinical case conferences, report-backs from important HIV meetings, updates on current HIV research, and subspecialty reviews of the optimal management of particular aspects of HIV disease. Presentations are approximately 50 minutes in length with ten minutes of open Q&A.

Selected lectures are taped and webcast on the leading HIV education and news website, HIVInsite (www.hivinsite.org)

HIV Grand Rounds lectures are held weekly from 8-9am in the Carr Auditorium on the San Francisco General Hospital campus, Building 3.
