| Rationale for On-Site Courses
Many times, it is more cost effective to have an on-site program for the staff of an institution or members of a group. In the first instance, this approach is substantially less expensive than sending individuals to attend programs elsewhere. It also can accomplish the training at one time in a uniform fashion for everyone. Examples of this strategy are conducting a colposcopy training program for all nurse practitioners and physicians working in state health department clinics or all residents in a family practice residency program. This has worked for many institutions and groups over the years.
It can work for your group:
more easily,
more cost-effectively,
and more affordably
than you might think. |

Cost
There is no cost for inquiry, nor is there any cost for our submitting a detailed proposal and budget. Payment after the completion of the program will cover honorarium for faculty and travel and accommodation expenses. Any textbooks utilized for participants will be invoiced separately. A basic and advanced colposcopy training program including a session devoted to electrosurgery for nine physicians and three nurse practitioners, for example, could be put on for as little as $6000 including books for the participants. That same program for 32 residents and interns would increase but only for the cost of additional books.

Syllabus Material
We recommend Basic and Advanced Colposcopy - A Practical Guide to Diagnosis and Basic and Advanced Colposcopy - A Practical Guide to Treatment as syllabus material for colposcopy training. For laser training we recommend Gynecologic CO2 Laser Surgery and for electrosurgery we recommend Understanding Electrosurgery. All are published by Biomedical Communications, are up-to-date and affordable and used by OB-GYN and FP residency training programs, nurse practitioner courses and clinical training programs conducted by, among others, the U. S. Public Health Service, Planned Parenthood, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and Emory University, as course textbooks.

Equipment for Hands-On
Local distributors and direct sales representatives will often supply equipment for use in training programs. We will provide assistance in getting loaner equipment will, if necessary, contact manufacturers and distributors on your behalf. Many institutions have all the necessary equipment for hands-on already in place.
