The Arthur Ashe Endowment for the Defeat of AIDS

The Arthur Ashe Endowment is accepting applications for their HIV training/educational program, "Training in the Clinical Management of HIV Disease for International Healthcare Workers", in April, May, October and November of 2008. This program is open to foreign MDs who wish to receive additional training in the clinical management of HIV disease.  The Endowment wants to encourage clinically-active, qualified physicians who are currently directly caring for HIV-infected individuals in their home countries to apply to the AAE program here at The New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College located in Manhattan in New York City.  While MDs from any part of the world should apply, AAE is particularly interested in physicians who practice HIV medicine in regions where access to such training is limited.  The deadline for receipt of applications for the year 2008 is 1 October 2007.
