Save the Date: Monday, July 21 » Learn More
National Clinicians HIV/AIDS Testing and Awareness Day presents an opportunity for clinicians nationwide to lead the way by setting the example to publicly acknowledge they will take an HIV/AIDS test themselves, learn their HIV status and dispel the myths and stigma within the healthcare profession associated with HIV testing.

What is Capacity Building?

Capacity-building assistance (CBA) is a system-wide, integrated approach to expanding the core-competencies of providers and strengthening institutional infrastructure to improve outcomes for HIV-infected patients.

 

CBA employs a process that involves assessment of needs using performance indicators, collaboratively structuring sustainable interventions, and tracking progress through appropriate evaluation methods.

NMAETC has developed the BESAFE Cultural Competency Model to help health care providers to have a greater understanding and awareness of how culture may influence their attitudes, behaviors, and policies on health care. NMAETC conducts highly interactive BESAFE workshops to increase cultural competency among providers when diagnosing and treating patients. In addition, BESAFE workshops build organizational capacity by developing cultural competency plans. The culturally competent health care provider will develop the needed skills and interpersonal capacity to better respond to a diverse patient population.
