Understanding barriers to seeking care for pelvic floor disorders is necessary. We sought to assess familiarity with pelvic floor disorders, as well as identify screening and referral patterns among primary care providers. ⋯ Primary care providers within a large healthcare system were more familiar with UI and OAB than POP, often underestimating the prevalence of POP. Nearly one-fifth were unaware of urogynecologists within their system. Educational outreach regarding pelvic floor disorders and the urogynecology specialty would likely improve patient access to care.
