The SAGES Fellowship Certificate is intended to verify that an individual has successfully completed his/her fellowship training and is an exemplary general surgeon with special qualifications in either Advanced GI/MIS, Flexible Endoscopy, or both. Certificates will be awarded at the SAGES Annual Meeting and recipients names posted on the SAGES website.
SAGES encourages those completing their fellowship training in the 2017-2018 academic year to open their application before the July 31, 2018 deadline. You will then have two years – from the end of your fellowship or from Board Certification, whichever comes first – to finish the application.
