We’re excited to announce our endometriosis fellowship, EndoFound's first exclusive endometriosis surgical fellowship to be established in the United States. There is a desperate need for specialized surgeons to treat endometriosis, a complex disease that is poorly understood by masses including the medical and scientific communities as well as patients. Applicants who are finishing their obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) residency program, or who are completing a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or reproductive endocrinology (REI) fellowship program in the United States will be considered. Please share this news widely and learn more today.
