Abstract

Graduate medical training is an opportune time to improve provider delivery of sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening. A survey of trainees found that the majority feel STI screening is their job but identified barriers to successful screening. Training that intentionally address service-specific barriers will be valuable in ending the STI epidemic.
