Training with Continuing Education (CE)

Continuing Education (CE) is critical for clinical services providers and other healthcare professionals to maintain licensure and professional competence while staying updated about new and developing topics in their field. As the CTC-SRH’s goal is to support Title X clinicians to provide evidence-based high quality sexual and reproductive health care, we understand the necessity of obtaining CEs in order to maintain licensure. 

The trainings provided by the CTC-SRH are conducted by nationally-renowned subject matter experts. Recognizing that Title X clinics serve a diverse group of people, we design, develop, and implement our trainings and resources with a focus on quality, equity, and access at the core. We affirm the need for men's health in Title X projects and services for anyone who can become pregnant, including cisgender women, transgender men, nonbinary people, and others. 

training CEs

Training topics are selected based on recommendations from the sexual and reproductive field of providers, our Grantee Clinical Leadership Advisory Council (GCLAC), and needs assessments from the Title X network. The trainings are available in multiple, easily-accessible formats including self-paced eLearning modules, IUC training, live webinars, and our Clinician Cafés.

As the CTC-SRH is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Population Affairs to serve the Title X network, all our trainings are free to Title X clinical providers. Most of our resources and CE trainings are free and available for non-Title X individuals as well. However, skills-based trainings, such as our IUC training, require that non-Title X individuals pay a nominal fee.

Types of CTC-SRH Trainings with CEs

The CTC-SRH is the only national clinical training center that has been federally funded to provide training and technical assistance to Title X clinical services providers since 2006. Therefore, you can be confident that our trainings are high-quality, evidence-based, and aligned with Title X programmatic requirements and priorities. The CTC-SRH engages national subject matter experts in the development of all learning activities.

 

LARC Overview

Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) is a well-established umbrella term used by reproductive and sexual health providers and experts. LARC, as a term, encompasses all FDA-approved birth control methods that provide long-term pregnancy prevention options, are reversible (unlike sterilization or permanent contraception), and are proven to be highly effective.

Resources for Sexual and Reproductive Health 

Our resources are created, curated, and managed with the goal of supporting clinical learning for sexual and reproductive providers with a focus on Title X clinical services providers. While our resources do not have CE available, they can be used to strengthen new knowledge or provide new perspectives in conjunction with our CE training. Downloadable resources such as job aids and toolkits can be used as quick reference tools to align services to best practices, and clinical protocol templates can be customized by your organization to standardize practices.
