Express STI Services in Indigenous Communities

February 28, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST

We invite you to join Indian Country ECHO for a Grand Rounds focused on Express STI Services. In this series of presentations, Dr. Jonathan Iralu, Indian Health Service Chief Clinical Consultant for Infectious Disease, and Dr. Melanie Taylor, Medical Epidemiologist for the CDC, will share effective strategies for implementing express STI services in our I/T/U facilities. Dr. Iralu and Dr. Taylor will provide an overview of Express STI testing, intake and triage processes, patient flow and staffing, testing options (including traditional testing, POC, and self-collection), and discuss notification, treatment and partner services. Then, Dr. Leah Spatafore, Community Pediatrician with the Navajo Area IHS, and Yuleta Marta, Public Health Nurse Supervisor with Wind River Family and Community Health Care, will share their clinics stories of how they’ve responded to rising rates of STIs in a variety of innovative ways, including express STI services – a triage-based STI testing service without a full clinical examination that reduces time to treatment, visit time, and increases access and testing while maximizing available resources. Free CE is available.

The one-hour Grand Rounds session includes an opportunity to engage in a didactic presentation, gain insight on how I/T/U facilities may effectively implement express STI services, become part of a learning community, and join an Infectious Disease ECHO program.
