SAGES Fellowship Certification Application

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.

1. To open your application, simply fill out the online form at Fellowship Certification and pay the $100 application fee.
2. Once we receive your application and payment, we will send you an email to complete the remaining steps:

1. - Obtain full Active membership in SAGES. If you’re currently a SAGES candidate member, please log onto your membership page and click here to learn how to upgrade to Active Membership. Not yet a SAGES Member? Join here!
