DIS and Partner Services

For all things related to DIS, this is your one-stop-shop for technical assistance.

Back to Technical Assistance Page

Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) serve as a cornerstone of the STD field by playing a critical role in reporting and controlling the spread of STDs on the ground. The role of DIS in local and state health departments is ever evolving as STD rates continue to rise and innovative ways of conducting partner notification services and using technology emerge in the field. NCSD strives to be the lead organization concerning technical assistance for DIS.

NCSD offers a variety of technical assistance for DIS and health departments in topic areas such as:

  • Partner services
  • The use of technology in contact tracing
  • Sample DIS job descriptions
  • Communication and promotional materials concerning the work of DIS
