Retroviruses Conference: Daily CME Reports Available on World Wide Web

Healthcare Communications Group, L.L.C., which develops AIDS-related medical education programs, will produce The Clinical Care Options for HIV Daily Online Summaries of the 4th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections* in Washington D.C. These one- to two-hour clinically focused continuing medical education (CME) modules will cover each day of the Conference from January 23-27, and will be published online the following morning. They can be taken for professional credit or used by anyone on the World Wide Web.

This program, similar to one produced in Vancouver last July, will be created by a team of 17 authors and writers, most of whom are researchers or clinicians engaged in clinical trials or direct care of persons who are HIV positive. It is sponsored through unrestricted educational grants from five pharmaceutical companies, under ACCME guidelines to assure that sponsors do not influence the content of the courses.

The CME modules will be available through the home page of Healthcare Communications Group, L.L.C., (website no longer available). Also, pre-conference state-of-the-art summaries on pathogenesis, viral markers, immunomodulation, antiretrovirals, CMV/PCP/HSV/Toxo, MAC/TB, fungal infections, and AIDS-related cancers are scheduled to be posted on this site by January 10.

*This CME program is not sanctioned by nor part of the 4th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections.
