We provide technical assistance and training to family planning providers and promote comprehensive sexual health education and services for low-income Californians.
CAPTC provides technical assistance and training to family planning providers in California. Our team has a key role in implementing California’s Family Planning Access Care and Treatment (Family PACT) Program. Family PACT is an innovative program that provides free, comprehensive family planning services to low-income individuals, including adolescents. Administered by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Office of Family Planning (OFP), Family PACT has been operating since 1997.
CAPTC’s health educators and communicators provide a wide array of capacity building tools and technical assistance training to FPACT providers including orientations for providers new to the program, online courses, webinars, and a robust website with resources for both providers and clients.

We train the disease intervention workforce to support individuals with communicable infections and those that may be at risk of infection.
Since 1995, CAPTC’s Disease Intervention Training Center (DITC) has been funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to train the nation’s disease intervention workforce. Disease intervention professionals (DIP) support people with communicable infections and those who may be at risk of infection. This includes contact tracing, case investigation, partner services, and emergency response.
We create innovative curricula and online training modules on all skill sets necessary for DIP to effectively serve the community. Our CAPTC team provides capacity building around disease intervention focused on HIV/STIs as part of the National Network of Disease Intervention Training Centers (NNDITC). In addition to HIV/STI training, we led national training efforts to address COVID-19. Additionally, we provide training for DIP around various communicable infections from tuberculosis to mpox.
Our staff has decades of experience as contact tracers and outreach workers in STI/HIV disease intervention services. We provide knowledge, tools, and techniques suitable for both beginners and seasoned professionals to excel as a DIPs.
Funded by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Office of AIDS (OA) and CDPH STD Control Branch , CAPTC provides training and technical assistance to California-based disease intervention professionals (DIP), HIV navigators, and other HIV/STI prevention staff to build and enhance capacity in California local health jurisdictions. We implement EHE activities through tailored TA activities, including:

We provide virtual training events, technical assistance, clinical tools, and STI clinical consultation (via the STD Clinical Consultation Network) to support providers in addressing the rise of STIs in their communities. We focus on complex issues in patient care including evolving PrEP modalities, congenital syphilis management and prevention, and complications of gonorrhea and chlamydia. Our faculty consists of physicians and nurses who are subject matter experts in the field of sexual health with extensive academic, clinical, and public health experience in STI control and response.
The CAPTC Clinical Program has been funded for over 30 years by the CDC and is part of the National Network of STD Clinical Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC). CAPTC also has a long-standing partnership with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) STD Control Branch to deliver training on STI diagnosis and treatment to counties experiencing high rates of STIs. CDPH and CAPTC regularly collaborate on issuing statewide guidance related to STI screening and treatment, as well as creating co-branded job aids and educational materials for providers throughout the state.
As a supplemental CDC-funded project, the CAPTC clinical team provides robust clinical training and technical assistance that supports STI specialty clinics to build capacity in biomedical HIV preventive services, such as PrEP, in the Western United States. The clinical team identified five STI clinics in high-morbidity areas serving key populations (including the Latinx community, African American men who have sex with men, women of reproductive age), conducted comprehensive clinic assessments to identify gaps and needs, and developed and implemented iterative trainings and technical assistance. We continue to provide targeted TA and training to the clinics with a particular focus on data systems, data-informed quality improvement, biomedical HIV service navigation and access (including injectable PrEP), and improvement of services for specific underserved populations.
