The fellowship is a one-year program designed to expose the physician in training to extensive experience in both the outpatient and inpatient surgical management of gynecologic disorders using the full arsenal of minimally invasive techniques. The physicians within the Division of Gynecology have been leaders in the field of advanced laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery for nearly two decades and established one of the first robotic gyn surgery programs in the region. The fellow will be integrated into the resident teaching schedule including both didactic and simulation training offered in the laparoscopic training facility. In addition, the fellow will serve as faculty in training programs presented at the Bioskills Surgical Training Center, North Shore-LIJs surgical education institute.
