We offer free expert training, clinical consultation, and technical assistance to individuals and agencies across Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
Funded by HRSA and by Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, MATEC Michigan’s mission is to increase the number of health care professionals who provide excellent HIV care and prevention services to our state’s underserved and vulnerable populations.

Ongoing Program Offerings:

• Clinical Training - We provide clinical training for a variety of healthcare providers, including: nurses, pharmacists, dental professionals, and overall prescribers. Our trainings are interactive and hands-on, and some include individualized clinical shadowing opportunities thereafter.
• Seminars – We offer face-to-face and virtual training on HIV-related topics to individuals and groups free of charge. These interactive seminars are typically 60-90 minutes in length. Faculty are experienced health professionals who actively work in the field. Topics include: ART, Drug Interactions for PLWH, Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder, PrEP, PEP, Trauma-Informed Care, and many more.
• Clinical Consultation – We offer expert, timely responses to clinical questions related to the prevention and treatment of HIV and its co-occurring conditions. The consult line is available 24/7 for both routine (313-962-2000) and urgent (313-408-3483) questions.

We also host a free, monthly HCV consult line. Primary care prescribers are welcome to present their HCV cases to a Wayne State Infectious Disease expert who will review each case with the prescriber and return the completed consultation form for attachment to any prior authorization form required by Michigan Medicaid or other insurance providers.
