UCSF’s Pacific AIDS Education & Training Center has 30 years of expertise in adult learning, training modalities, and community health. Pacific AETC is a member of a national AIDS Education and Training Center network of eight regional and three national centers, covering all 50 states and US Territories and Jurisdictions. Pacific AETC works to expand the number and ability of healthcare professionals and organizations in the Pacific region to provide high-quality HIV-related services to increase access to healthcare and decrease health inequities.
Community Health Center Network is a partnership of community health centers committed to enhancing the ability to provide comprehensive, quality health care in a manner respectful of community traditions and values. With 25 years of experience, CHCN is widely recognized as a uniquely efficient model for community health centers to organize managed health care delivery.
Together, Pacific AETC and CHCN leveraged 55 years of combined experience and expertise to implement a capacity-building initiative. This initiative has helped to increase the skills, knowledge, and ability of Alameda County safety net providers. Participants were able to work together more effectively, support consumer engagement, and enhance cross-sector understanding through the work of the Skills Development Unit.
