Abstract

The family medicine faculty who perform colposcopy at the University of Missouri-Columbia have developed an innovative didactic curriculum that is used as an adjunct to the clinical experience in teaching family practice residents about colposcopy. The curriculum is taught weekly during a colposcopy conference that is held in the family practice center and includes core topic lectures, pathology-correlate lectures, and a journal club. The core lecture series has 26 topics that range from basic to advanced colposcopy. Pathology-correlate lectures combine pathologic evaluation with the clinical colposcopic examination. The journal club systematically reviews and evaluates the colposcopy literature.
