The Wisconsin Project provides affordable training, continuing education and technical assistance services to enhance the quality and cost-effectiveness of Wisconsin family planning and reproductive heath agencies.

The WI Project supports the goals and guiding principles of the WI Division of Public Health (DPH). We:

• Educate, disseminate, and provide technical assistance around DPH Family Planning Program requirements & standards of practice.

• Assist clinic staff to meet state goals and objectives, particularly in the areas of reducing unintended pregnancies & STI rates and creating diversity in the health care work force.

To improve reproductive health clinic quality and cost effectiveness, the WI Project will:

• Integrate the needs of low-income clients and other underserved populations into training plans.

• Assess the needs of participating clinics on a regular basis and adjust the training plan to suit those needs.

• Stay current with emerging trends & research in the family planning and reproductive health field.

• Assist clinics in adapting new technology trends.

• Offer training and technical assistance to improve management systems, patient recruitment, and retention.

• Collaborate with policy-makers and community-based organizations to develop educational opportunities that meet established guidelines and are culturally competent.

• Create liaisons between clinical staff and leading professionals & educators in the reproductive health field.

• Serve as a network to connect clinic sites.
