About the Program:

Program Overview:

The ARV Therapies and Therapeutic Strategies program is a comprehensive, independent review of the 24th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2017). This program consists of four components: (1) CME Internet Symposium: CROI 2017 Expert Review: a 1.5 hour Internet symposium that features an overview and discussion of key presentations and posters, selected by the expert faculty discussants; (2) Comprehensive Expert Review and Discussion of Key Presentations: an on-line, in-depth review of 8 of the key poster/presentations reviewed in the Internet symposium (3) Rapid-Fire Review of CROI 2017: a podcast that provides a brief, audio summary of the most essential data presented at the conference; and (4) From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data From CROI 2017: case-based dinner meetings during which the key data are reviewed, discussed and applied to patient care.

The Rapid-Fire Review of CROI 2017 features our national faculty panel briefly reviewing the most essential information and data from CROI 2017. This activity will enable participating health care providers caring for HIV-infected patients to become aware of and understand the data presented at this important conference and appropriately utilize those data to improve patient care.
