Course Description: The course is a unique opportunity for students to become involved within the Rhode Island community and gain a practical skill-set. In 2006, the CDC revised its HIV testing guidelines and now recommends that everyone between the ages of 13-64 be screened for HIV. As it stands in Rhode Island, only Qualified Professional Testing Counselors (QPTCs) are allowed to provide testing services for HIV. Through providing instruction on current HIV management, this course will train students to become certified QPTCs and offer instruction in the use of both HIV and HCV Rapid Antibody Tests. Students will learn how to address difficult diagnoses and how to best encourage their patients to seek further treatment. Students will be able to use their knowledge and certification to strengthen the efforts of The Miriam Hospital, Rhode Island Free Clinic, Crossroads, and others to increase both HIV and HCV screening, providing a valuable and much-needed service to the community.

Service Learning Note

We are still in the process of determining whether or not we will be able to observe and perform tests at our testing sites (which would be self-scheduled shadowing sessions anywhere from 10/10-11/6) due to COVID considerations, but stay tuned -- we should know by mid-September/October latest. Zoom counseling and observation may be possible, but we need to check further. So far, we have a tentative yes following safety guidelines from the leaders of AIDS Care Ocean State in Providence for observation and counseling service learning hours and certification.
