MIS Fellowship

CAMPS was recently approved as a site for a two year fellowship in minimally invasive GYN Surgery by AAGL. The goal of this fellowship is to train future leaders in the academic pursuit of minimally invasive GYN surgery.

The Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, an affiliate of the AAGL and the Society of Reproductive Surgeons, is sponsoring fellowships in advanced gynecologic endoscopy. These fellowships were created with the goal of producing a standardized training program. The Fellowship provides an opportunity for gynecologists who have completed their residency to acquire additional skills in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.



Educational objectives focus on evidence based medicine, anatomical principles, instrumentation, operative laparoscopy and operative hysteroscopy. The Fellowship offers in depth experience using state-of-the- art techniques to treat abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, myomata, endometriosis, adhesive disease, and pelvic relaxation.

This fellowship also aims to further research in the field of minimally invasive gynecology. Fellows are required to complete a scholarly contribution to be presented at the annual meetings of the AAGL and ASRM.

The Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery actively encourages applications from postgraduate physicians aspiring to develop their surgical skills in minimally invasive gynecology.


The first fellow in the program started in July 2011.

Mastering the Art of Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery educational activity is a bi-annual program designed to provide an in-depth review of the latest information and techniques in Gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. It is designed for clinicians who desire to advance their laparoscopic skills, and apply these skills to perform more advanced Gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries in their practices. The attendees will learn and practice laparoscopic suturing using laparoscopic trainers. In lieu of a written syllabus, a website will be created that will contain all the conference presentations, a variety of surgical videos and will be an integral part of the conference. The laparoscopic trainers will be available for use by the participants throughout the entire course.
