The Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) offers evidence-based clinical training and resources to healthcare providers, training the nation’s Title X workforce. The CTC-SRH was founded as the National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning (NCTCFP) in 2006, funded by the Office of Population Affairs (OPA) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The CTC-SRH has continued to provide training and resources for Title X clinicians and the broader sexual and reproductive health provider workforce for over 17 years, aiming to increase quality, equity, and access in the healthcare field.
The Director of CTC-SRH, Jacki Witt, JD, MSN, WHNP-BC, FAANP, has led the CTC-SRH since its inception in 2006. Jacki is a renowned and award-winning sexual and reproductive health expert. Jacki’s vast experience in providing clinical services, teaching in nursing education programs, and involvement in professional associations and academic research prepared her to lead the CTC-SRH for nearly 20 years, leading the CTC-SRH through multiple public health crises and times of restoration. Jacki’s legacy in the Title X network is one of innovation, community, connectedness, and continuous improvement and innovation.
The CTC-SRH team brings together a wealth of experience and expertise on clinical topics, health education, training design, implementation, evaluation, research, event planning, strategic partnerships, and more. Through the strengths of the team, the CTC-SRH has been able to deliver consistent training and technical assistance to support Title X clinical services providers’ learning as well as react to emergent public health issues, such as Zika, COVID-19, and post-Dobbs priorities.
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.
