Podcasts are a popular, easy- listening format for experts to share views, host conversations with other experts, and impart knowledge. They are similar to radio broadcasts, consisting of downloadable audio files, and are generally part of a themed series. The CTC-SRH’s podcasts are aimed at sexual and reproductive health clinicians and other staff members who are looking for current and easily digested segments of information that can be accessed from both computers and mobile devices.
The CTC-SRH produces several standalone podcast episodes on a variety of topics, such as preventing congenital syphilis or basic infertility services. Our podcast, Clinical Chats, is the overarching name for all our episodes, and it encompasses several sub-series. The two active sub-series are titled Coding with Ann and Reproductive Justice (see below).
The CTC-SRH’s podcast was formerly called The Family Planning Files and is now known as Clinical Chats: A Podcast for Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Providers, or just Clinical Chats for short. This new podcast name has been changed to align with our new program’s name which now includes the term ‘sexual and reproductive health’ instead of ‘family planning.’
Each episode is conceptualized, created, hosted, and recorded by our CTC-SRH experts. Our podcast features sexual and reproductive health clinicians as well as experts from across many disciplines such as law and administration from all over the United States.
Upcoming episode topics for 2023 include billing and coding guidance for early pregnancy management, patient health literacy, and sexual and reproductive health services for adolescent males and young men. The diversity of podcast topics and guests ensures that there is a listening session of interest across the sexual and reproductive health field.
One to two podcast episodes are released every month and can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and other major streaming platforms for easy on-the-go listening. All the podcast episodes can also be streamed directly from our website.

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.
