This workshop is designed to provide healthcare professionals with in-depth knowledge and hands-on training in cervical cancer screening. It will cover the importance of screening, the various screening techniques, interpretation of results, patient management, and strategies for improving screening participation. This session will emphasize the latest guidelines and best practices for effective cervical cancer prevention.
Workshop Content:
Presentations and Lectures: Detailed explanations of cervical cancer, screening guidelines, and management of abnormal results.
Hands-On Demonstration: Practical demonstration of screening techniques such as Pap smear collection, HPV testing, VIA, and colposcopy.
Interactive Case Studies: Participants will review real-life cases, discuss possible management strategies, and make decisions based on screening results.
Role-Playing and Patient Interaction: Practicing patient counseling and communication around abnormal results.
Target Audience:
Obstetricians and Gynecologists
Healthcare providers who perform cervical cancer screening and manage abnormal results in clinical practice.
Those who are involved in the treatment of cervical dysplasia and early cervical cancer.
General Practitioners (GPs)
Primary care physicians who are responsible for initial screenings, follow-ups, and referrals for abnormal results.
Nurses and Nurse Practitioners
Nurses involved in cervical cancer screening, patient education, and follow-up care.
Public Health Professionals
Professionals working on cervical cancer prevention and screening programs, particularly in community health settings.
Medical Students and Residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Students and trainees looking to learn or enhance their knowledge and skills in cervical cancer screening and management.
Midwives
Midwives involved in patient education and support during cervical cancer screening, especially in underserved communities.
Health Educators
Individuals responsible for promoting awareness about cervical cancer prevention and the importance of screening.
Community Health Workers
Those involved in outreach and education about cervical cancer and screening in local communities, particularly in low-resource areas.
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
Understand the pathophysiology and risk factors of cervical cancer.
Be familiar with the latest guidelines for cervical cancer screening, including age, frequency, and screening methods.
Learn proper techniques for performing and interpreting Pap smears, HPV testing, and VIA.
Be equipped to manage abnormal screening results and understand the importance of follow-up care.
Improve their patient communication skills, especially in counseling patients about abnormal results and treatment options.
Gain insights into emerging trends in cervical cancer screening and prevention technologies.
