Mission:

The PTC is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and has been developed in collaboration with the St. Louis County Department of Public Health, other local and state health departments and the Washington University School of Medicine. 

The PTC is dedicated to increasing the knowledge and skills of health and community-based providers in the area of sexual and reproductive health through state of the art training programs emphasizing all aspects of clinical and program management.  These programs include sexual and reproductive health promotion, clinical diagnosis of STIs, medical management and prevention of STIs and HIV.  The PTC offers technical support and training to health department and other community health providers. 

Who We Serve:

Our target service audience includes: physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, certified nurse midwives, and nurses in public or private practice who promote healthy sexual and reproductive health practices; offer diagnosis and medical management for HIV and other STIs; and, provide prevention counseling to individuals at risk for STIs.  Class participants who offer family planning, adolescent health, women’s health, primary care, urgent care services in public settings, community health centers or private practice are welcome.

What We Offer:

We offer a variety of STI Training (STI Intensive Courses) throughout Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

Land Acknowledgement:

Washington University in St. Louis occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Osage Nation, Otoe-Missouria, Illinois Confederacy, Quapaw, Ho-Chunk, Miami and many other tribes as the custodians of the land where we reside, occupy, and call home.

We recognize their sovereignty was never ceded after unjust removal and encourage your own research on tribal removal, tribal sovereignty and the history of the land you reside.

We promote the inclusion of tribal history and the incorporation of contemporary thoughts and actions into your work.

In offering this land acknowledgement, we affirm and support Tribal sovereignty, history and experiences by elders past, present, and seven generations yet to come through their continued connection to this land.
