While progress has been made in reducing legal barriers to Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT), there is still much to be done to support broader implementation and scale-up of EPT usage. Public health providers are very aware that effective clinical management of patients with treatable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) requires treatment of the patients’ sex partners to prevent reinfection and decrease further transmission. The goal of this DIALS is to support strategies that may mitigate or eliminate legal, medical, practical, and administrative barriers for EPT provision.

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.
