Abstract

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects ∼15% of women and gender-diverse people, yet it is often dismissed by health care providers, partly due to a lack of related medical education. This brief communication describes the findings of a needs assessment survey for health care trainees. The findings suggest that current health care trainees felt inadequately prepared to manage CPP. Resources tailored to the diagnostic workup and treatment of CPP are needed in medical education.
