Gynesim Announces 18 month Executive Fellowship in Advanced MIGS and Endometriosis Care - starting January 2026

Do you feel uneasy when you encounter a challenging case or unexpected endometriosis?

A surgical excisional approach to endometriosis surgery increasingly represents the standard of care: one surgery done right. The skill required to perform complete excision of low to high stage disease unfortunately is not provided in residency training, is not available for active practitioners and is certainly a challenging learning curve if self-taught. The accelerative change in patient expectations regarding surgical management of endometriosis sets a new challenge for otherwise skilled MIGS surgeons.

In the face of such accelerative change, common is the understandable professional unease felt by otherwise competent gynecologic surgeons (both new and seasoned): a perceived deficit in minimally invasive surgical skills to properly manage endometriosis. Even more the unease of encountering unexpected and advanced disease at the time of planned hysterectomy.

The time is now for mid-career Gynecologic surgeons to make focused efforts at skill development to be able to comfortably and properly address this common disease.

And where then is such endometriosis excisional skills training available? The very small handful of endometriosis-focused surgery fellowships are, for mid-career gynecologists with family and active practices, a commitment too great. Academic centers, where the few faculty who perform full excision of endometriosis can certainly provide rich exposure for its staff gynecologists and residents but this internal training is often at cross-purposes with productivity. For community based surgeons there are no skills based training opportunities; the occasional CME course focused on endometriosis is heavy on lecture and light on hands-on training.

The tension for more rigorous endometriosis training opportunities cannot be overstated.

The Executive Fellowship for Advanced MIGS and Endometriosis Care is an 18 month, longitudinal hands-on simulation-based training fellowship in Advanced Endometriosis Care designed to transform surgical skill, knowledge and confidence in the management of this common and challenging disease. Designed along the lines of the “Executive MBA” – a curriculum, schedule and cost designed for the active professional who cannot take time away from their work and family to enroll in a full-time training. It is a program designed for the focused adult learner – relevant, practicable, professionally transformative. For more information follow the link here.
