What is a Preceptor? How Does the CTCFP Training Work?

Family planning preceptors are identified practitioners experienced in family planning care who provide individualized transitional role support and learning opportunities for less experienced and new practitioners.

 

The CTCFP training covers a broad spectrum of family planning topics and will reflect issues relevant to a diverse patient population. The training is presented in a clinical instructional setting and offers evidence-based real-world experiences including practice with human patients and patient simulators.
