The mission of the Family Planning Male Training Center (FPMTC) is to ensure that personnel working in Title X family planning service projects will receive on a continuing basis the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to effectively provide family planning and reproductive health information, education and clinical services targeting males.

FPMTC activities fall into three major categories.

• TRAINING EVENTS: The FPMTC conducts regular training events and clinical updates for Title X providers that emphasize how they can more effectively and efficiently deliver family planning and reproductive health information, education, and clinical services to males. Information about these activities is listed on the EVENTS page of this website.
  
  
• PROVIDER RESOURCES: The FPMTC is developing on-line resources for Title X male programs that include: 1) an Electronic Library of the most current and up-to-date information on male family planning and reproductive health topics with an emphasis on research findings and innovative programs; 2) an Educational Resource Inventory that includes current information on provider training curricula and methods; 3) a Male Program Registry that contains programmatic information on family planning projects with male components; and 4) a Self-help Brochure Kit. All of these resources are, or shortly will be, available through this website.
  
  
• NEW INFORMATION: The FPMTC is actively engaged in compiling and assimilating new knowledge in the field of male sexual and reproductive health for the purposes of disseminating and interpreting that knowledge to providers. Current activities in this area include the identification of provider competencies for male program delivery, and the development of training curricula based on male service guidelines. To assist in these activities FPMTC periodically convenes expert panels to address specific male family planning and reproductive health issues. Information about these activities is listed on the EVENTS page of this website.
