GYN Minimally Invasive Surgery

The AAGL Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG) designation is offered to surgeons, hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers around the world that provide minimally invasive gynecologic surgical care on an inpatient and outpatient basis.


The COEMIG program is focused on improving the safety and quality of gynecologic patient care worldwide, and lowering the overall costs associated with successful treatment. The program is designed to expand patient awareness of – and access to – minimally invasive gynecologic procedures performed by surgeons and facilities that have demonstrated excellence in these advanced techniques.

In order to achieve the designation “Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology” programs must demonstrate an adherence to rigorous designation requirements. Learn More >>
