Through these programs CCP interacts with many levels of the HIV/STI health care paradigm including clinicians and health care systems, community-based non-governmental organizations and public health departments. CCP seeks a Nurse Practitioner to join the team part time to provide clinical subject matter expertise related to these topic areas with particular emphasis on HIV prevention, as well as provide direct clinical care at the Sexual Health Clinic.
