The HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) within HRSA
in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is embarking
on a 24-month quantitative HIV clinician workforce study to provide
HRSA and other federal and state agencies with national and
regional estimates of the number of primary care clinicians
providing medical care to people living with HIV or AIDS in the
United States, as well as projections of the magnitude of the
shortage or surplus of HIV-related primary care clinicians through
2015. The study focuses on the supply and demand of health
professionals who treat and manage care for patients living with
HIV and AIDS. The primary purpose of the survey is to collect
comprehensive information necessary for developing HIV-specific
input parameters for the workforce forecasting model.
