Few family physicians perform colposcopy due to training and practice barriers, though it is feasible. This study assessed colposcopy performance, training, and physician demographics in Arizona family practice.

Area of Science:

  • Family Medicine
  • Gynecologic Procedures

Background:

  • Assessing the current practice of colposcopy among family physicians.
  • Identifying physician demographics associated with colposcopy performance.
  • Understanding future intentions of non-performing physicians regarding colposcopy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the extent of colposcopy performance by family physicians.
  • To identify specific colposcopic procedures undertaken by family physicians.
  • To explore demographic factors of physicians performing colposcopy and future plans of those who do not.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 757 family practice physicians in Arizona.
  • Response rate analysis included return and overall response percentages.

Main Results:

  • 19.3% of surveyed physicians were trained in colposcopy; 9.5% had performed it.
  • Physicians performing colposcopy averaged 25 procedures in the prior six months.
  • Response rate was 55.5% from a 72% return rate.

Conclusions:

  • Identified barriers include lack of training, interspecialty conflicts, quality assurance concerns, and malpractice insurance costs.
  • Despite barriers, family physicians can feasibly perform colposcopy.
  • No insurmountable obstacles prevent family physicians from incorporating colposcopy into their practice.
