This course is very informative and an excellent source for clinicians who want to become familiar with and comfortable identifying at-risk population and prescribing PrEP. Highly recommended.

This was an excellent class. Being able to see on both sides of the PrEP discussion and treatment plan is beneficial for all. It's very important to understand the topic from both sides as the preventative and therapeutic treatments are still fairly new to both patients and providers. It's important that we all understand that there are new ways out there to prevent and treat the proliferation of newly acquired HIV cases. With both provider and patient understanding the resources available to them, and how to access these treatments, we can hopefully begin to end the

This course was very informative and interesting. Some of the subject matter was repeated multiple times and so maybe some editing of the course would make it a bit more coherent. That being said, thank you to Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and all the Staff that made this course possible. Keep up the good work.

This course was extremely thorough and gave an excellent overview of both the patient and provider sides of PrEP. I now know so much about PrEP and feel prepared to answer questions from others in the field about this drug.

I enjoyed many of the lectures including the videos and powerpoints for patients as it sometimes simplified the more technical provider videos. I would reccomend this course to any PrEP implementer. I would suggest though that the lecture materials focus equally on other Key populations and followed more contexts such as Africa, Asia, Europe etc

Some of the Videos were a bit redundant and lengthy, but I can see a need to drive home many of your great points in the presentations. Overall this was excellent and highly recommended course!

While this was very informative and helpful to me as a health educator, the presenters were very bland and many videos seemed rather redundant since they were repeating so many main points of previous videos.

Should have been better organized. I would have preferred a lesson directed either at providers or at patients as separate modules. The back and forth between the focus seemed a bit ridiculous and greatly reduced the flow of the materials.
