Anal Dysplasia Consulting International (ADCI)
Preceptorship and Practice Management Program
COURSE OVERVIEW
The International Anal Neoplasia Society (IANS) released their official Anal Cancer Screening
Guidelines on January 31, 2024 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
released their official Anal Screening Guidelines for People with HIV. This confirms that this
is a perfect time for you get started on your specialized training on how to appropriately perform
HRA and HSIL treatment. This program is designed for the physician or advanced practice
provider to gain individualized clinical training in the evaluation and treatment of HPV-related
anal disease to prevent anal cancer in high-risk populations. You will have the opportunity to
learn from experts in the field and apply real-life hands-on skills when you return to your medical
practice. Whether you are striving to become a master HR Anoscopist, fill in the gaps in your
current practice and patient relationships, or maximize your financial and practice operations,
this program is a great way to gain the breadth of skills needed to drive your practice to
success.
The provider should have gained a working knowledge of basic and clinical science of anal cancer screening, all aspects of the procedures used for screening and management of anal dysplasia and HPV-related anal disease by completing the International Anal Neoplasia Society(IANS) Standard Virtual HRA Course.
Didactic sessions will be conducted through presentations, multimedia materials, visual aids, case studies and interactive discussions to enhance learning and understanding in the practice of HRA and HSIL treatment.
The provider will have the opportunity to perform real life HRA exams with standardized patient models. The provider will be able to collect specimens including anal cytology, rectal high-risk HPV test and other STI tests. The provider will be able to go through the steps of conducting HRA utilizing the anal speculum, HR anoscope and imaging software. The provider will learn to how to use the imaging software by capturing and reviewing the images, annotating them appropriately, and storing them in the electronic medical record.
Simulations will be used to create realistic learning environments that allow the provider to practice certain procedures in a safe and realistic way. Simulations will utilize a manikin for digital anal rectal exam (DARE). DARE will be taught and instruction on palpating anal lesions and masses will be provided. An anal model will be used to gain knowledge on how to use the anal speculum in combination with the HR anoscope so that eye-hand coordination is practiced. Anal biopsies will be obtained with the anal model. Electrocautery and infra-red coagulation will be utilized to practice anal precancer treatment
The provider will have the opportunity to observe experienced HR anoscopists performing HRA, HSIL treatment, obtain specimens, and communication skills between the preceptor and patient. The provider will observe EMR documentation and appropriate coding and billing procedures. The preceptor will then observe and provide valuable feedback at the provider’s practice as they demonstrate what was learned at the preceptor’s office.
Assessment and feedback are essential to help the provider improve their procedural skills. The provider will keep HRA and HSIL treatment logs in real time. Log entries will be reviewed and compared to the quality metric standards as published in the International Anal Neoplasia Society article “2016 IANS International Guidelines for Practice Standards in the Detection of Anal Cancer Precursors” and according to the quality metrics standards developed by Anal Dysplasia Consulting International(ADCI). Feedback will be specific, timely, and constructive.
Opportunities for ongoing education and professional development will be provided. Regular webinars with providers will consist of journal club, case study presentations, and question and answer sessions.
The preceptorship program will culminate with the provider receiving a certificate of completion in HRA and HSIL treatment. The certificate of completion obtained from ADCI will provide the documentation needed to receive your certificate of completion with the International Anal Neoplasia Society (IANS).
