HRA Clinical Workshop Overview

This in-person workshop will be on June 5, 2025, one day prior to the IANS Scientific Meeting in London. The workshop will be divided into modules appropriate to different levels of practice. Participants will select which module they would like to participate in. 

Module A is primarily designed for beginner participants who have taken the IANS Virtual Standard HRA Course or similar, but have not completed a hands-on component. Completion of the IANS Virtual Standard HRA course is strongly recommended. The module will focus on how to perform an HRA, review of screening guidelines and management of abnormal results and auditing your practice. There will be a hands-on component to practice using a colposcope, focusing, biopsying, performing DARE and recognizing lesions. 

Module B is designed for intermediate/advanced participants who have completed at least 50-100 HRAs in practice. This complements the IANS Virtual Advanced HRA course. The module will focus on challenges in HRA, improving recognition of HSIL, improving assessment of the perianus, documenting and auditing your practice, treatment/management strategies and HRA post cancer treatment. There will be a hands-on component to learn ablative anal procedures. There will be opportunity to review participants cases and HRA videos with faculty for individualized feedback and discussion.
