Background  To use colposcopy as a family medicine skill, training under experienced faculty using different available modalities is required.  This study uses a survey to assess whether colposcopy training is being offered and to examine what resources are being used to do so. Methods & Objectives  Method: A Survey to assess: A Survey to assess: i.The availability of colposcopy training ii.The methods available for preparation training  Objectives: To evaluate whether colposcopy training is readily available to Family Medicine residents To evaluate whether colposcopy training is readily available to Family Medicine residents Methods & Objectives  Method: A Survey to assess: A Survey to assess: i.The availability of colposcopy training ii.The methods available for preparation training  Objectives: To evaluate whether colposcopy training is readily available to Family Medicine residents To evaluate whether colposcopy training is readily available to Family Medicine residents Results & Analysis 1.95% family medicine residents have colposcopy training, 5% only observe. 2.75% is supervised by a family medicine attending. 3.47.5% is supervised by an OBGYN attending. 4.0% are supervised by chief residents. 5.Training consists of: i.82.5% live patients, ii.57.5% lecture material, iii.Sim labs and ASCCP courses also used, iv.67.5% occurs in family medicine clinics.

Conslusions  Training in colposcopy varies across the country.  A curriculum in colposcopy must impart both cognitive and psychomotor skills that requires sufficient hands on training to acquire.  Such training should be designed to address competencies in medical knowledge and practice based learning to ensure better patient care  Such training should be designed to address competencies in medical knowledge and practice based learning to ensure better patient care..Conslusions  Training in colposcopy varies across the country.  A curriculum in colposcopy must impart both cognitive and psychomotor skills that requires sufficient hands on training to acquire.  Such training should be designed to address competencies in medical knowledge and practice based learning to ensure better patient care  Such training should be designed to address competencies in medical knowledge and practice based learning to ensure better patient care..
