With over 125,000 current cases, the aquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) continues to tax our traditional health care system. Due to increased numbers and increased longevity of AIDS patients, more health professionals will be exposed to and involved in the treatment of these individuals in the future. As the epidemic expands, dissemination of scientific information to health professionals becomes imperative. Microbiology educators, with our scientific and professional experience, have an unique opportunity to actively involve ourselves in presenting or consulting in AIDS educational programs through federally funded education and training centers. Data are presented on the impact on health professionals of our expanding role in these centers. Only through this commitment will we enhance our professional image and increase our visibility in the health care system.
