OVERVIEW
Comprehensive Colposcopy is organized by American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) and would be held during Jan 20-23, 2016 at Tampa,Florida. The targeted audience for this medical meeting for colposcopists. This medical conference aims to improve competencies or medical knowledge, practice-based learning, patient outcomes, and systems-based practice. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 21.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Competencies and Objectives are:
Describe the anatomy, cytology, histology, and colposcopic findings of the normal and abnormal cervix, vagina, and vulva (medical knowledge)
* Elicit and document an appropriate history including risk factors for lower genital tract neoplasia (medical knowledge, practice-based learning)
* Define the pathophysiology of lower genital tract neoplasia, including the role of oncogenic HPV in preinvasive and invasive diseases of the cervix, vagina, and vulva (medical knowledge)
* Define the Bethesda System of cervicovaginal terminology (medical knowledge)
* Apply new standards for cervical cancer screening, including HPV testing (systems-based practice)
* Describe the prevention of cervical neoplasia and genital warts using prophylactic HPV vaccines (medical knowledge)
* Discuss the challenges of colposcopy and management of cervical neoplasia for selected patient populations such as adolescents, women infected with HIV, underserved women, and pregnant women (medical knowledge, practice-based learning, patient outcomes)
* Perform appropriate cytologic sampling, colposcopic evaluation, and biopsies (including endocervical sampling), and become familiar with instrumentation and necessary supplies (practice-based learning)
* Recognize the diagnostic characteristics of cervical abnormalities (low-grade and high-grade cervical lesions as well as adenocarcinoma in-situ and cervical cancer) on cytologic, colposcopic, and histologic exam (practice-based learning)
* Interpret and correlate cytologic, colposcopic, and histologic results (practice-based learning);
* Formulate a plan of care for the management of women with Pap test abnormalities according to the most recent ASCCP Consensus Guidelines, the ASCUS/LSIL Triage Study (ALTS), and other evidence-based guidelines (practice-based learning, systems-based practice, patient outcomes);
* Describe, but not perform, treatment options to include cryosurgery and electrosurgical loop excision procedure (LEEP) of the cervix (practice-based learning);
* Summarize and explain the diagnosis and management of vulvar and vaginal neoplasia (medical knowledge, practice-based learning)
* Provide appropriate patient education and support (medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills).
