"Totally comprehensive Colposcopy training. I came with very limited knowledge about cervical cancer & the colposcopy (procedure?) & feel ready to start mentored coploscopys. This program will definitely make me more marketable, but more important, will help me meet the needs in my practice in a rural area where colposcopy is often not an option to these patients due to cost & transportation issues. I cannot say enough good things about the presenters & this program! Awesome!"
