The Mentorship
Learning to do colposcopy requires at least two educational components, a basic course and a period of hands-on men-
torship or preceptorship. In the mentorship the fledgling colposcopist works side by side with an experienced colposco-
pist until a degree of competency is reached. There are two avenues by which a colposcopist in the I/T/U system can
complete the mentorship. One is to complete the formal ASCCP mentorship program of 25 supervised exams followed
by successful completion of an on-line examination. (see www.asccp.org/Education/Education-eLearning/Colposcopy-
Mentorship-Program-CMP) The other way of completing the mentorship is through IHS and requires completion of 50
exams and recommendation by the mentor without the exam. New colposcopists are encouraged (though not required)
to have identified a mentor prior to taking the course.
