Abstract
Background: Uterine fibroid diagnosis and management can be delayed by a lack of access to care. To combat this barrier, this study aimed to determine gaps in knowledge and investigate areas of education interest.
Methods: Obstetrics-gynecology, family medicine, and internal medicine resident and attending physicians received an electronic survey via RedCap. Descriptive statistics were performed in Mintab and Excel.
Results: Seventy of the 316 physicians (22%) who received the survey completed it. Most participants answered questions regarding diagnosis timing, instruments for validated reported outcomes, and risk factors incorrectly. Seventy-six percent of respondents desired more education about treatment options and guidelines.
Discussion: This study provides insight regarding current knowledge of uterine fibroids and areas of educational interest among different physicians.
