UT Southwestern Family Medicine Residency Official feed of the UTSW Family Medicine Residency.

The UT Southwestern Medical Center Family Medicine Residency is unique in that it offers the best of both the community and University Hospital settings for learning. Residents train in Parkland Hospital, UT Southwestern University Hospitals, Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and Children’s Health℠ Children’s Medical Center as well as numerous outpatient locations in the community. This is beneficial because graduates learn in both the intense training environment of teaching hospitals and in the real world of the community.

Tonight at 6 pm! "Riding the Wave: Understanding and Applying the Latest Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines" with speaker Diane Harper, MD. You can access the link on our website landing page (link in bio).

Learning Objectives:

-Review the impact of HPV on cervical cancer development
-Understand HPV infection in the US
-Outline the benefits and harms of co-testing vs. primary HPV testing for routine cervical cancer screening
-Assess the triage reflex test option for both self-screening and in office speculum exam screening
-CINtec plus vs. cytology
-Integrate primary HPV testing into your daily practice
-Improve patient acceptance and completion of cervical cancer screening with self sampling

About the Speaker: Dr. Harper, the top US physician-scientist in cervical cancer prevention, published the groundbreaking randomized controlled trials of HPV vaccines that demonstrated long-term efficacy in preventing HPV infection and cervical cancer, providing key evidence for global adoption of HPV vaccination for young women, progressing to gender neutrality. Dr. Harper led the first US-based trial showing equivalent sensitivity of self-sampling and clinician speculum-based sampling for HPV testing for cervical cancer screening, informing recently issued guidelines from the Women's Preventive Services Guidelines, now endorsing the patient-centered practice of self-sampling. Dr. Harper has championed the promise of self-sampling to reduce screening barriers for persons with disabilities and illuminated other factors contributing to screening inequities.
