Since 2006, the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) has developed and delivered high-quality, evidence-based clinical training and shared skill development resources to Title X service providers. We have been funded by the Office of Population Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services since inception. Read more.

Value

For over 17 years, our mission has remained to offer the best clinical training to the nation’s Title X workforce. We do this by offering unique and accessible training such as live and on-demand webinars, e-learning, and onsite and virtual skills training. Many of our trainings are eligible for continuing education credits (CEs). 

Community Building

We host the National Reproductive Health Conference, the nation’s only annual conference for Title X clinicians, which is also open to non-Title X sexual and reproductive health providers. This year’s conference, from September 11th - 13th, will be entirely virtual to create easier access for our nation’s sexual and reproductive health clinicians.

The CTC-SRH is funded by the Office of Population Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services to deliver training and technical assistance to Title X family planning service grantees and providers. Formerly known as the National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning (NCTCFP), the CTC-SRH has continued to provide training and resources for Title X clinicians and the broader sexual and reproductive health provider workforce to increase quality, equity, and access in the healthcare field for over 17 years.

Announcement
We Have a New Name!

Founded as the National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning (NCTCFP) in 2006, we changed our name to the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) in 2023. We have been funded by the Office of Population Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services since inception and remain the primary source of clinical training for those providing sexual and reproductive health care in federally-funded settings. 

Having served the Title X network for nearly two decades, our team of clinical experts recognized that the term “family planning” falls short of describing the client-centered and inclusive sexual and reproductive health services we offer, especially in an increasingly urgent and rapidly shifting healthcare landscape.

The newly-renamed Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) continues to provide evidence-based clinical training and resources to healthcare providers in Title X settings through increased healthcare quality, equity, and access.
