Academic Detailing
Academic detailing, also known as public health detailing, is a proven approach for increasing adoption of evidence-based practices by health care providers, leading to expanded access to equitable, inclusive, and high-quality care and better health outcomes. The model employs brief (15 minutes or less), peer-based, individualized coaching on a targeted practice area. The MWAETC offers virtual detailing services focused on PrEP provision, STI screening and treatment, and sexual history taking in Oregon and Utah.
