HRA Mini-Course Overview

This course will on November 9, 2023, one day prior to the IANS Scientific Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The course will be divided into modules appropriate to different levels of practice. Participants will select which module(s) they would like to participate in. 

Module A is primarily designed for participants who have not yet set up their HRA practice; they have taken the IANS virtual HRA course or similar, but have not done a hands-on component. The module will focus on how to set up your practice, how to perform an HRA, and will have a hands-on component to practice using a colposcope, anoscope and biopsy tools. 

Module B is designed for participants who have completed up to 50 HRAs in practice. The module will focus on improving HRA including how to maximize visualization of the anal canal, improving recognition of HSIL, improving assessment of the perianus, documenting and auditing your practice, and treatment/management strategies. There will be a hands-on component to learn ablative anal procedures.

Module C is designed for participants who have completed at least 100 HRAs in practice. The module will focus on difficult cases, multizonal disease, pathology interpretation and correlation, and case-based discussions. For experienced HRA providers that have not performed ablative treatment, a hands-on practicum will be available. Each participant has the opportunity to bring in a recorded HRA or ablation procedure, for individualized feedback by course faculty.
