The International HIV Training Program (IHTP) is a collaboration of the Medical Center San Diego (MCSD) and two San Diego, California universities. The Health Research Center (NHRC) provides operational support through the Direct HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP). DHAPP has facilitated the establishment of this mini-residency in HIV/AIDS clinical management located in San Diego for foreign medical personnel currently dealing with HIV/AIDS in their country. IHTP is funded as an international assistance program, and is designed to promote HIV prevention through training of medical providers and country assistance in strengthening or development and implementation of HIV prevention programs.
