Welcome to the North Carolina AIDS Training and Education Center!

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the new home for the North Carolina AIDS Training and Education Center.

Our primary mission is to meet the training needs of health care providers in North Carolina who diagnose and manage patients with HIV, with a special focus on minority and minority-serving providers, rural providers, and providers working in Ryan White-funded programs. Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, dental professionals, and clinical pharmacists are our target audience.  We offer one-on-one clinical preceptorships, conferences, workshops, and resource materials.

The North Carolina AIDS Training and Education Center is part of SEATEC, the Southeast AIDS Training and Education Center

Program Background and Goals

The AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETC) Program of the Ryan White CARE Act currently supports a network of 11 regional centers (and more than 130 local performance sites) that conduct targeted, multi-disciplinary education and training programs for healthcare providers treating persons with HIV/AIDS. The AETCs serve all 50 States, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the six U.S.-affiliated Pacific Jurisdictions. The mission of the AETCs is to improve the quality of life of patients living with HIV/AIDS through the provision of high quality professional education and training. The AETC Program is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau.
