Fellowship in MIGS
Fellowship History
Over the past 20 years, the division has gained regional and national recognition for its efforts to provide the best advanced laparoscopic surgery for women and pelvic pain management. As part of a major academic medical center, the Division excels in training, research, and clinical programs. Our dual purpose is to train those who will provide top-quality patient care and be the academic leaders in gynecologic laparoscopy and pelvic pain management, who in turn will train many physicians for practice in communities across the country. This emphasis makes our fellowship one of the most unique programs in the United States.
The Division offers a two-year Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, designed to begin after completion of the standard four-year United States residency in obstetrics and gynecology.
The fellowship began in 1998, and joined the AAGL/SRS Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery in 2008.
Our purpose is to train academic physicians who will become leaders in the teaching, research, and practice of operative gynecologic laparoscopy and the management of chronic pelvic pain problems.
