Federal guidelines now recognize self‑collected HPV testing as an option for cervical cancer screening for average‑risk individuals, offering a more accessible and patient‑preferred alternative to clinician‑collected samples. This course explains current guideline updates supporting self‑collection, highlights screening intervals and follow‑up recommendations, and explores how pharmacists can support patients in choosing appropriate screening options and navigating coverage and reimbursement. You will learn practical strategies to educate patients, help them understand test options and results, and integrate HPV self‑screening into preventive health services in your practice.
