Requirements for Surgeon Credentialing for the
Center for Endometriosis Care fellowship program:

Since our inception more than twenty years ago, the CEC adheres to the principles and vision of our Founder, Robert B. Albee, Jr., MD.  The CEC’s core focus is to improve the lives of women and girls, with dual emphasis on the critical importance of leaving a legacy.  To that end, the CEC routinely trains others in the art and science of laparoscopic excision, both in the U.S. and abroad, and we welcome all interested surgeon candidates to contact us today to learn more.

Minimum requirements to receive CEC credentialing:

  • Board certified by the American College of OB/GYN (ACOG)
  • Demonstrated skill at MIGS/advanced laparoscopy
  • Certified by AAGL or Accreditation Council for Gynecologic Endoscopy or an equivalent/appropriate accreditation organization
  • Understand and agree with the science behind and principles of LAPEX (laparoscopic excision) – “modern concepts”
  • Uniformly use LAPEX on every case of endometriosis

Maintain data on the following:
 

  • Complications
  • Pain relief
  • Endometriosis recurrence

Fellows go on in practice to adhere to the CEC’s approach:

 Gather a team of surgeons ready to complete the excision at the initial surgery (for example, for invasive bowel or bladder disease)

  • Maintain the CEC reputation for compassion, expertise, and interest in advancing the treatment and understanding of women with endometriosis

 Candidates, colleagues and members of industry who would like to invite our surgical team to train your constituency or be considered for a fellowship here, please contact our Surgical Program Director today.
