Updates from the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health

Jacki Witt, JD, MSN, WHNP-BC, FAANP

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the entire CTC-SRH team, I want to welcome you to a new, exciting year with us as we work with you to enhance the knowledge and skills of the dedicated clinical service providers in this diverse network. As many of you know, after nearly 20 years as the Project Director for the CTC-SRH, it is time for me to pass the baton to the next generation of leadership.

I am pleased to announce that Kristin Metcalf-Wilson will be transitioning to Project Director. Many of you have worked with Kristin over the four years she has been with CTC-SRH as Associate Director for Clinical Training and I know you share my enthusiasm in welcoming her to this new position. I have every confidence in her ability to guide the team and continue the important work we do.

While this is a retirement of sorts, I am not leaving CTC-SRH entirely. I will remain involved in the project, albeit in a reduced capacity. This change will allow me to pursue other ventures that I am passionate about, while still contributing to the mission of CTC-SRH.

I am incredibly proud of the work we have accomplished together, and I am excited to see where Kristin and the CTC-SRH team will take the center in the future. I am grateful for your support during this transition and look forward to continuing our work together in this new capacity.

Sincerely,

Jacki Witt

Greetings in this New Year,

During the past few years, I have been serving as the Associate Director under the mentorship of Jacki Witt, whose leadership has been instrumental in shaping our center. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Jacki, who will continue to be involved with the CTC-SRH team, contributing to our projects and products while focusing on her roles in the field. I am grateful for her guidance as I take on this new and exciting role. 

My vision for CTC-SRH is to maintain our high-quality training and resources and foster a learning environment that advances our field and improves patient care. With 30 years of experience in sexual and reproductive health and over 20 years of teaching and training experience, I am eager to bring my expertise to this role. 

Looking forward to a new year of growth and dedication to sexual and reproductive health, and connecting with many of you at trainings and conferences throughout the year!

Sincerely,

Dr. Kristin Metcalf-Wilson

The National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning is now the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH) to more accurately represent the breadth of sexual and reproductive health services and resources provided by the center.

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. 

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. The CTC-SRH delivers continuous, high-quality clinical skills training and resources to healthcare providers within Title X and related public health communities. Visit www.ctcsrh.org for more training and resources.
