MIGS Endometriosis Fellowship Program
Overview
In cooperation with Iris Wings Sanctuary, Drs. Iris Orbuch, and Rayan Elkattah, the Lotus Endometriosis Institute has launched a one year minimally invasive fellowship program, which strongly focuses on endometriosis surgery. It is designed to increase your skill base in advanced laparoscopic, hysteroscopic, and robotic minimally-invasive surgery.
Based on the initial offering, the fellowship is being restructured and improved. Please submit inquiries so we can gauge interest. However, we are not accepting formal applications at this time.
