Creating an environment where health equity exists for all.
Promoting Equity. Building Capacity. Prioritizing People.
Celebrating Disease Intervention Professionals in October
In honor of DIS Recognition Day on October, 4, 2024, the CAPTC is celebrating the essential life-saving work of disease intervention professionals!
Calculating Interview Periods
The goal of this self-paced, online course is to equip DI Professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to accurately calculate interview periods for persons diagnosed with STIs/HIV. A foundational step in any STI interview is determining the interview period. This timeframe is crucial for identifying sexual partners who may require testing and treatment.
Mpox Disease Intervention Series
The goal of this training is to prepare staff of local health departments to perform effective disease intervention (DI) interviews for mpox.
Mpox Job Aids
CAPTC is pleased to announce two new job aids, focused on mpox recognition, diagnosis, testing, treatment, and vaccination.
OUR MISSION
To build the capacity of health care professionals working in HIV, STIs, sexual and reproductive health, and emerging public health needs to deliver high-quality, respectful, and inclusive services.

Communications & Evaluation
Our communications and evaluation teams serve as the backbone of the CAPTC. They provide support across our service areas to amplify our innovative work.
The CAPTC Difference
We believe in the power of human-to-human connection. For providers, we create learning environments in which they feel safe to learn, reflect, and explore themselves. In turn, these providers have a bigger tool belt so they can offer welcoming, inclusive spaces to their clients to receive care. We are more than trainers, we promote an ethic of compassion, empathy, humility, and inclusivity in healthcare.
