About the Program
There are currently 1.1 million people living with HIV in the United States, however, there is a shortage and a decreasing number of HIV-experienced clinicians to care for them. This fellowship seeks to help fill that gap by training new HIV clinicians to provide comprehensive clinical care across the US through a focused training year to help them build the skills to provide quality, evidence-based, and culturally competent care.
Brown’s HIV Medicine Fellowship is a one-year fellowship program based at the Infectious Diseases & Immunology Center and the RISE TB Clinic, both located at The Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island and affiliated with The Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University. This fellowship provides advanced training in HIV and tuberculosis medicine through focused clinical sessions, didactics, and research opportunities. The program is open to individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including:
- Fellows who have completed an infectious diseases fellowship and would like an additional focused year of training in HIV and TB Medicine
- Residents who have completed internal medicine, med-peds, or family medicine residency programs and would like to pursue a one-year training program in HIV Medicine/TB
