Residents among years residency: 15% first year, 31% second 23% third 11% fourth 20% fifth year. Most (60%) never attended a clinic during residency, with an increasing percentage attendance later residency (15% at year vs 65% fifth). Participants reported low vulvar precancerous lesions vulvoscopy but better vaginitis, self-examination, lichen sclerosus. Of respondents, 50% not satisfied education provided more than 60% lacked confidence managing VVD. All participants expressed strong desire their skills, 100% agreeing that every gynecologist should know “basics” 98% wanting webinars (45%), lessons (34%), newsletters, videos (19%).
