Introduction
While the primary objective of the AAGL is to advance minimally invasive gynecology, the Board of Trustees, recognizes that some of its members have areas of special interest, and have established Special Interest Groups (SIG) to address the needs of these members.
Purpose
To increase knowledge of physicians, nurses and allied healthcare professional in gynecologic oncology, pelvic pain, reproductive surgery, endometriosis, robotics and urogynecology; to improve patient care; provide a forum for networking, exchange of ideas and mentoring your members; and promote the highest standards of ethical and critical investigation.
