Passport to Partner Services Webinar
CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Division of STD Prevention, along with the National Network of STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers – Partner Services and Program Support will host webinars about the new Passport to Partner Services national curriculum.
The Passport to Partner Services course is based on the “Recommendations for Partner Services Programs for HIV Infection, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydial Infection” (MMWR Recommendations and Reports, November 07, 2008 /Vol. 57/no. RR-9), and harmonizes training for disease intervention specialists (DIS) and other partner services providers previously trained in the traditional Introduction to STD Intervention (ISTDI) and HIV Partner Counseling and Referral Services (PCRS) courses. Passport replaces both ISTDI and PCRS as the essential training for partner services providers offered by CDC and its training partners.
The Passport to Partner Services course includes both web-based self-study modules and a traditional classroom component. The curriculum is divided into four tracks, differentiated by job functions.
- Track A is directed towards medical and referring providers, providing an overview of partner services and support for referring patients to these services.
- Track B is geared primarily towards HIV partner service providers who conduct partner elicitation, notification, or referral.
- Track C is for partner service providers who are responsible for partner elicitation, notification or referral primarily for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and/or HIV, but not syphilis case management.
- The last track, Track D, is for partner service providers (especially DIS) that will be responsible for the full spectrum of partner services, including syphilis case management.
