AIDS 2024 Workshop & Dinner – Clinical Education Alliance (CEA)

September is a celebratory time for honoring the courageous folks who have overcome substance use disorders. (SUD). This is why the month is deemed National Recovery Month, full of beneficial events including workshops, conferences, and dinner gatherings to pay tribute and September 5, 2024 did not disappoint. On September 5, 2024, The Clinical Education Alliance (CEA) hosted a “What Did We Learn” dinner at Mastro’s Steakhouse located on 600 13th Street NW to recap the information presented earlier at the AIDS 2024 workshop from 6pm to 9pm. The presenters were Drs. Roger Bedimo and Princy N. Kumar who both discussed integrating the latest data from AIDS 2024 into practice.  The well-structured workshop reiterated topics such as “Contemporary HIV Treatment and Prevention 2024: Overcoming Barriers to PrEP Uptake” to reinforce all learnings.

DC Recovery’s Community Outreach Coordinator, Brian Person, effectively network with several of the event’s illustrious guests such as Mr. Larry Gourdine, Director of Psychiatric Institute of Washington, Mr. Thomas Moore, Patient Advocate at Recovery Centers of America and last but not least Ms. Caren Kirkland, Director, Strategic Planning, Pathways to Housing.

It is always a blessing to attend events that not only honor the courageous folks in our community but events that share the much-needed information to uplift those in the community who struggle with SUD-related disorders.

Well done, CEA!
