 COURSES
HIV care and support training programme: 2007


The Aurum Institute for Health Research provides regular training to doctors, nurses, counsellors, peer educators and others involved in HIV/AIDS health care and research. Our training is outcomes focused, and based on best practices and cutting-edge developments. Our training methods are interactive. We focus on developing practical skills.

Our training courses are provided by a professional team that includes doctors, nurses, a social worker and a psychologist. Trainings are provided both at our central training venue in Main Street, Johannesburg, as well as at the workplace, where numbers justify providing on-site training.
