Francis J. Curry National Tuberculosis Center (CNTC) has developed
the DOT Trainer’s Curriculum by the for use by tuberculosis (TB)
program managers, nurse consultants, health educators, and others
responsible for training staff who conduct outreach and/or Directly
Observed Therapy (DOT) activities.
The curriculum designers recognize that TB programs differ widely in
their practices regarding DOT, and there is no “one-size-fits-all”
approach. The DOT Trainer’s Curriculum was designed to promote a
core set of skills for any staff who perform DOT duties regardless
of the special circumstances that shape local TB programs’ policies
and procedures.
Curriculum content:
The DOT Trainer’s Curriculum is divided into
six sessions that can be conducted as individual, stand-alone
sessions or as a multi-session series.
The six sessions are:
-
Introduction to DOT
-
Essential Elements of DOT – Part I (risk
assessment; building rapport; observing/documenting the dose; side
effects)
-
Essential Elements of DOT – Part II
(incentives and enablers; patient education; confidentiality)
-
Working with Culturally Diverse Populations
-
Working with Patients with Special Challenges

Field Safety and Infection Control

participant materials, as well as handouts, training outlines,
PowerPoint presentations and an educational videotape as a printed
