PrEP and PEP: Pharmacist-Led Care Models    

Module DescriptionPharmacist-led care models have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in the management of chronic diseases.

This webinar will describe pharmacist-led care models on HIV PrEP and PEP, including the impact on HIV prevention and care, various state laws, practice environments, and professional and financial sustainability.
