A new student-led training program improved healthcare provider knowledge of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), leading to increased PrEP prescriptions and addressing a key barrier to HIV prevention.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Infectious Diseases
- Medical Education
Background:
- HIV incidence remains a significant global health issue.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a safe and effective HIV prevention method.
- Low provider knowledge and unequal PrEP uptake hinder its effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of a novel, interprofessional student-led training initiative on PrEP knowledge and prescription rates.
- To address the gap in provider education by focusing on community-specific needs of at-risk populations.
Main Methods:
- An interprofessional student team developed and implemented a community-specific PrEP training module.
- Electronic medical records were analyzed to track changes in PrEP prescriptions post-intervention.
Main Results:
- The student-led training initiative effectively improved education about PrEP.
- A measurable increase in PrEP prescriptions was observed following the training.
Conclusions:
- Interprofessional student-led training can be an effective strategy to enhance PrEP knowledge among healthcare professionals.
- This approach can positively influence clinical practice and improve PrEP uptake for HIV prevention.
