The Gynecological Teaching Associate (GTA) instructional method is recognized as excellent by the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics Undergraduate Education Committee for the instruction of medical students and doctors in the skills required for performance of women's reproductive health evaluation (obstetric-gynaecological history, breast and pelvic examinations, and PAP smear). The method is used in over 90% of American and Canadian medical schools and thus represents a major allocation of educational resources. This success is to a large extent dependent on the quality of training programmes for the GTAs. This paper provides a description of the training programme for GTAs at the University of Illinois at Chicago which has operated successfully for the last 3 years, resulting in a group of 18 GTAs who train approximately 450 medical students and residents each year. It is hoped that this information will help medical educators and planners to develop and/or maintain their GTA programmes (or equivalent in other countries) in the fiscally difficult times facing institutions of higher learning.
妇科教学助理（GTA）教学方法被妇产科教授协会本科教育委员会认可为优秀，用于指导医学生和医生进行女性生殖健康评估所需的技能（妇产科病史、乳房和盆腔检查以及巴氏涂片检查）。该方法在美国和加拿大超过90%的医学院使用，因此代表了大量教育资源的分配。这一成功在很大程度上取决于GTA培训项目的质量。本文描述了伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校GTA的培训项目，该项目在过去三年中成功运作，培养出了一组18名GTA，他们每年培训约450名医学生和住院医生。希望这些信息能帮助医学教育工作者和规划者在高等院校面临财政困难时期制定和/或维持他们的GTA项目（或其他国家的类似项目）。
