AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention 
      in lower genital tract pathology (LGTP) on the knowledge and skills acquired by 
      the Spanish specialist residents. This didactic change was carried out under the 
      auspices of the Asociacion Espanola de Patologia Cervical y Colposcopia and the 
      Sociedad Espanola Ginecologia y Obstetricia and its Resident Section. STUDY 
      DESIGN: This is an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. The 
      survey was composed of 15 questions voluntarily answered by Spanish gynecology 
      and obstetrics trainees. RESULTS: Compared with a previous survey, a substantial 
      increase in the proportion of Spanish teaching hospitals with an LGTP unit (9/42 
      vs 47/59) has been detected while doubling the percentage of residents who 
      acknowledge medium to high knowledge on this pathology. The same cannot be said 
      about the handling capacity of vulvodynia registering a great improvement. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Spanish scientific societies, concerned in the quality of LGTP 
      training gained by their residents, have focused on the necessity of LGTP units. 
      Our study confirms the usefulness of this performance in the new continued LGTP 
      education.
