CQII Leadership Program Participants (2019-2020)

The CQII Leadership Program is a capacity building and sustainability approach for end+disparities ECHO Collaborative members who are interested in enhancing their individual skills to take on a co-facilitation role in the Collaborative Affinity Group Sessions. Their involvement will enhance their capacity to facilitate virtual Affinity sessions, strengthen the voices of HIV providers in improvement discussions, and potentially leading to improved sustainability as those individuals might become future faculty members of Collaborative Affinity Sessions.
