MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training Center

What MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training Center does

The MidAtlantic AIDS Education and Training Center (MAAETC) is a non-profit, federally funded HIV/AIDS workforce development organization established in 1988 and headquartered at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. It provides HIV/AIDS education, clinical consultation, technical assistance, and resource materials to healthcare professionals across six Mid-Atlantic jurisdictions: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. The organization operates through a network of 11 regional partner sites embedded within major universities (University of Pittsburgh, Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, Howard University, VCU, WVU) and healthcare systems (Inova, ChristianaCare, Health Federation of Philadelphia), enabling locally tailored delivery across both rural and urban settings.

MAAETC's core digital product is the LEAPP (Learner Education And Practice Portal), a web-based learning management platform licensed by the University of Pittsburgh Innovation Institute that delivers structured HIV training modules, continuing education credits (CME, CNE, CPE), and archived on-demand content. The program portfolio includes the Foundations of HIV (FH) webinar series for novice providers, the Capacity and Expertise Expansion (CEE) series for experienced clinicians, the Preceptorship Clinical Scholars Program combining virtual didactics with hands-on clinical rotations, the HIV Prevention ECHO series for case-based learning, and dedicated case management training programs. Additional resources include the National HIV Curriculum, clinical tools repositories, and on-site technical assistance to clinics and provider organizations.

The center's revenue model is grant-funded, primarily through a $3,561,880 HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau grant (No. TR7HA53201) with 0% non-governmental financing, supplemented by Pennsylvania and Virginia Department of Health contracts. All training programs are offered free of charge to healthcare professionals, with priority access for Ryan White, CDC, VDH, and HRSA-funded providers. The organization employs approximately 11 staff at the central level while leveraging partner universities and health systems as delivery infrastructure, making it a federally mandated, grant-monetized public health workforce intermediary rather than a commercial training enterprise.
