The document discusses distance learning courses in colposcopy and laparoscopy. It proposes a distance learning program through the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) that would provide a year-long online course to train colposcopists in developing areas. The proposed program includes 24 online lectures, clinical case discussions, a practical training session, and an objective structured clinical exam to assess skills and award certificates to successful trainees. The goal is to expand access to training for colposcopy where resources for in-person instruction are limited.
