ASCCP

ASCCP was founded in 1964 as a non-profit specialty society. ASCCP has since served as the primary source of postgraduate colposcopy training not only in the United States, but globally.

Introduced to the United States in the early 1960s, colposcopy is the magnified inspection of the cervix and vagina. Colposcopy was initially practiced by those gynecologists receiving training directly from the early European and Australian colposcopists and by the gynecologists they trained.
