An e-learning tool to be used as basis for courses, workshops and self-learning, the HPV and Cervical Cancer Curriculum has been designed to improve individual knowledge on HPV and cervical cancer.

Professional Education to improve cervical cancer prevention worldwide

    * HPV vaccines and new diagnostic and screening tools have the potential to make cervical cancer largely a disease of the past.
    * Lack of appropriate professional knowledge has recurrently been identified as one of the major hindrances to the implementation of national cancer control programmes and a contributing factor to late access to diagnosis and treatment.
    * Knowledge transfer between professionals and to a lay audience is critical for long-term sustainability

A contribution to tackling these challenges is the UICC HPV and Cervical Cancer Curriculum, supported by a dedicated fellowship programme and a “train the trainer” approach.
HPV and Cervical Cancer Curriculum

    * An e-learning tool as basis for courses, workshops and self-learning
    * Powerpoint presentations with speakernotes and voiceovers on key topics related to HPV and cervical cancer
    * For healthcare personnel, programme managers, researchers, educators, policy-makers
    * Available in English (link). Translations in Kiswahili, Spanish and French are foreseen in a first phase

Objective:

    * To improve individual knowledge on HPV and cervical cancer
    * To provide evidence-based, state-of-the art, interdisciplinary and user-friendly teaching material
