title: Evaluating the acquisition of colposcopy skills in an obstetric-gynecologic residency program.
abstract: Instruction in colposcopic technique is now an integral component of residency training in obstetrics and gynecology. No statistical method for assessing colposcopy skills has been reported on before. The statistical calculations of sensitivity, specificity and kappa were applied to determine if there was any progressive acquisition of colposcopy skills by the colposcopy trainee during the four-year residency program.
