Rehabilitation in the Context of HIV: An Interprofessional Course for Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This is a one day workshop for rehabilitation professionals that builds on interprofessional education initiatives, and describes recent research and best practices to explore rehabilitation in the context of HIV.  People living with HIV are living longer, and may be living with impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions due to HIV and/or its associated treatments.  As a result, rehabilitation professionals have an increasingly important role to play in HIV care, treatment and support.  This course will enhance and increase the capacity of rehabilitation professionals to respond to the rehabilitation needs of people living with HIV. The course will use interprofessional and case-based learning principles through presentation and interactive discussion and will be facilitated by persons living with HIV and rehabilitation professionals.
