Comprehensive Colposcopy 2021

Comprehensive Colposcopy 2021 is organized by ASCCP. This onsite medical conference will be held from Jan 06 - 09, 2021 at Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, Tampa, Florida, United States of America.

Accreditation:
AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™
ASCCP designates this live activity for a maximum of 22.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Conference Description:
This evidence-based course is designed for the beginning/intermediate colposcopist. The symposium serve the clinicians wanting to get the up-to-date information concerning the Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines, the ASCCP Consensus Guidelines for Management of Women with Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening Tests and Cancer Precursors, and novel concepts about HPV screening and triage, treatment strategies, and HPV epidemiology. This Comprehensive Colposcopy 2021 medical conference is intended to enhance the competencies in medical knowledge, practice-based learning, patient outcomes, and/or systems-based practice. A participant should be an accredited physician or advanced practice clinician with an advanced clinical degree from an authorized institution and who makes gynecologic diagnosis and management decisions.

Conference Objectives:
At the conclusion of this educational activity, attendees should be able to:
• Define the anatomy, cytology, histology, and colposcopic research findings of the normal and abnormal cervix, vagina, and vulva (medical knowledge);
• Obtain and document an associated history along with the risk factors for lower genital tract neoplasia (medical knowledge, practice-based learning);
• Determine 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);
• Explain the Bethesda System of cervicovaginal terminology (medical knowledge);
• Employ novel standards for cervical cancer screening, including HPV testing (systems-based practice);
• Explain the prevention of cervical neoplasia and genital warts using prophylactic HPV vaccines (medical knowledge);
• Examine 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);
• Identify 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);
• Explain and correlate cytologic, colposcopic, and histologic results (practice-based learning);
• Form 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);
• Express, 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); and,
• Produce appropriate patient education and support (medical knowledge, interpersonal and communication skills).
