Description
The Ryan White Medical Case Management (MCM) Certified Training Series is a comprehensive, 12-month curriculum designed to equip case managers with the structural knowledge, clinical literacy, and behavioral health competencies required to deliver high-impact, client-centered care.Moving from the macro-level systems of public health funding down to the micro-level skills of behavioral intervention, this series builds a cohesive framework for supporting people living with HIV. Participants will journey through the legal and operational foundations of the Ryan White program, master current HIV treatment guidelines, confront systemic and personal biases, and acquire advanced clinical communication tools to foster trust, safety, and long-term retention in care.
