Is there a specific training that staff members need to complete in order to conduct Family PACT education and counseling visits?
Family PACT providers must ensure that non-clinician counselors have been trained in all family planning methods; are knowledgeable about the Family PACT Standards and program benefits; and have the essential core competence to deliver education and counseling services, including individual client history and assessment of health education and counseling needs. Within the personnel files of non-clinician counselors, providers must maintain documentation of education and counseling training and performance. For more information about counseling by non-clinician counselors see the Office Visits Section of the Family PACT Policies, Procedures and Billing Instructions (PPBI), located on-line at www.familypact.org.
