PANCAP empowers regional clinicians with motivational interviewing training to advance HIV responseKaieteur News – The Pan-Caribbean Partnership against HIV and AIDS (PANCAP) has successfully concluded a landmark Motivational Interviewing (MI) training programme at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Participants explored the spirit and process of MI, from engaging challenging patients and evoking change talk to concrete planning for behaviour change. “This training represents a transformative step in our regional HIV response,” said Dr. Wendy Telgt Emanuelson, Director of the PANCAP Coordinating Unit (PCU). “By equipping healthcare providers with motivational interviewing skills, we are fostering deeper trust between clinicians and patients. “Participants left motivated and equipped to cascade these skills within their health systems,” Dr. Emanuelson added.
