SDM Training
As is true with all natural methods, the interaction
between the service provider and client is critical
to user success. To ensure the provision of quality
counseling and follow-up services, the Institute
has developed materials for training service providers
using different approaches. Providers can participate
in traditional class room, self-study and computer-based
trainings. Some training approaches can be adapted
for multiple audiences, including physicians,
nurses, auxiliary nurses, social workers, community
outreach personnel, and community health workers.
Materials available include:
- Curriculum materials for training providers
in a one-day workshop. The manual Counseling
Clients on The Standard Days Method: A Training
for Service Providers and its accompanying
Participant
Notebook are available online in English
and in print and CD-ROM in English, French and
Spanish.
- A training and counseling video to supplement
the training manual and provide standardized
case studies, available in English, French and
Spanish.
- A self-paced OnlineTraining
Course to provide an easily-accessible,
comprehensive orientation on counseling clients
on the Standard Days Method of family planning.
The program features a module on counseling
which combines content with video-taped scenarios,
a general information module providing an overview
of the SDM, and a resources section providing
teaching and counseling tools that can be easily
downloaded. Participants register through the
Institute’s website, and it takes approximately
two hours to complete.
- A module on the Standard Days Method of family
planning within the USAID Global Health E-Learning
Center. The module provides an overview of the
SDM and combines technical content with program
principles, best practices and case studies.
The primary audience for the Learning Center
is USAID staff including Population Health/Nutrition
(PHN) officers and Foreign Service Nationals
(FSNs) at USAID Missions around the world. CAs
can also access the Learning Center.
