Design: Mixed-methods survey-based educational study.

Setting: An academic, tertiary-care, healthcare institution.

Patients or Participants: Non-gynecologic attending physicians, resident physicians, fellow physicians, and advanced practice providers (APP) at an urban, academic healthcare institution participated in the study.

Interventions: Between March 2022 and March 2023, 60 minute, live-in-person and live-virtual lectures were given to varying departments including general surgery, gastroenterology, internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, emergency medicine, urology, and pain medicine. Sessions covered some uniform background but ultimately were tailored to each specialty. Participants voluntarily completed an electronic survey through Qualtrics upon completion of the session to investigate the utility of the education session.

Measurements and Main Results: 22 attending physicians, 15 residents, 4 fellows, and 17 APPs completed the post-education-session survey. Most participants (n=54, 86%) strongly agreed that the session provided updated information on the etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and evaluation, and management of endometriosis. Participants also strongly agreed that the session equipped them to manage (n=36, 62%) and refer (n=46, 74%) patients with or with suspected endometriosis. When asked about what participants could implement from the session to their practice, many participants’ responses focused on referrals (n=10, 37%) and diagnosis (n=14, 51%).

Conclusion: This study demonstrates the utility of an education session in improving individuals' knowledge regarding caring for individuals with endometriosis. Qualitative data demonstrates respondents’ plans to focus on diagnosis and referrals related to endometriosis. These plans could improve endometriosis diagnostic delays.
