It is well-known that competency in High Resolution Anoscopy (HRA) involves a long learning curve to attain the necessary procedural techniques. Likewise, teaching and training HRA providers involve a specialized skill set. Educators in the field have learned to appreciate the subtleties of teaching HRA and related procedures that help new providers gain these necessary skills. This seminar series is designed to provide experienced HRA providers with the methodology to train others in all procedures related to screening, diagnosing and treatment of HPV-associated anal canal disease. With the release of screening guidelines for anal cancer prevention, there is an immediate increased need for HRA and treatment of HPV-associated diseases. Experienced clinicians are in demand to train the next generation of HRA providers.  

This series is appropriate for clinicians experienced in anal cancer prevention, who wish to begin training new providers or for those already involved, to share and discuss experiences, best practices, and management of difficult situations.

The seminar series will include the following topics:

• Establishing a new HRA clinic: equipment, clinic setup
• HRA Training from A to Z: essential elements of a training program
• Incorporating technology in training
• Measuring progress and competency
• Training in remote or under-served communities or countries.
• Designing a training program for the next generation of HRA providers

The 6 sessions will be held at 2-month intervals in a virtual format beginning September 2025. The sessions are intended for live open discussion and sharing of best practices. Dates and times are TBD and will be announced shortly.
