This study, a one-time questionnaire about cervical screening and HPV, is open to all physicians and advanced practice nurses that perform cervical screenings in San Diego or Imperial Counties. It should take 10-15 minutes to complete, and the results will be used to create continuing medical education courses tailored to our local clinicians.
