OVERVIEW
The ASCCP Colposcopy Mentorship Program is a three-tiered mentorship program designed to improve the beginning colposcopist’s skills in understanding the disease processes of the lower genital tract. The first tier is the necessary didactic knowledge which is gained through either an ACCME-accredited basic colposcopy course or a U.S.-accredited residency program. The second tier is the actual mentorship training period in which the beginning colposcopist performs colposcopic examinations and deduces cytologic, colposcopic, and histologic correlation under the guidance of an experienced and ASCCP-approved mentor. This tier may be conducted in a private practice or clinic setting or in a U.S.-accredited residency program. The third tier is an exit examination titled, the Colposcopy Mentorship Program exam. The Society strongly recommends the minimum acceptable training requirements for a colposcopist include completion of a didactic program, a mentorship program, and an examination to document colposcopic proficiency.
