Over the past 5 years, the cervical screening test has seen some changes! What used to be known as a “pap smear” now has a fancy new name and some new criteria.
If you are anything like me, the word “pap smear” or “cervical screening test” sends a shudder down my spine but that is mainly due to my lack of knowledge about what it entails and what it tells us. Thankfully, the wonderful Dr. Maria Li is here to give us the full run down.
Note: When discussing who can perform the cervical screening tests we forgot to mention in some cases nurses may perform them.
