The New England AIDS Education and Training Center (NEAETC), established in 1988, is part of the AIDS Education and Training Center Program funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and is sponsored regionally by the Department of Family Medicine & Community Health at the UMass Chan Medical School.

NEAETC’s goal is to provide education and clinical training for health care providers to diagnose, counsel and care for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, as well as to promote HIV prevention. The project serves Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. NEAETC offers programs in collaboration with community health centers, Ryan White affiliates, hospitals and medical centers, state and local health departments, AIDS service organizations, medical, nursing, dental and osteopathic schools, and other community agencies.

NEAETC trains nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, social workers, dentists as well as other health care providers. NEAETC offers multiple educational opportunities including clinical consultation and skills building and offers continuing education credits (CEU and CME) for many events. NEAETC’s programs enhance competency in HIV prevention and care, improving services for people with HIV.

We are a proud member of the National Alliance for HIV Education and Workforce Development (NAHEWD).
