A prominent figure in the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, Dr. Jon Ivar Einarsson currently serves as a physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and as a faculty member at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Jon Ivar Einarsson also belongs to numerous medical groups and leads as president of the board of trustees for the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL).
Founded in 1971, AAGL has been a leading force in the evolution of minimally invasive gynecologic procedures for nearly 50 years. Today, the organization serves more than 7,000 members in over 100 countries through research opportunities, continuing medical education, and networking events. AAGL also offers professional development initiatives, such as the AAGL Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (FMIGS) program.
Developed in response to a lack of gynecology and obstetrics residents getting appropriate MIGS training, the FMIGS program offers two-year fellowships to graduating gynecologic residents in cooperation with more than 40 hospitals across the United States. Thus far, nearly 400 residents have participated in the evidence-based FMIGS program, which trains fellows in leading-edge techniques, such as robotics, operative laparoscopy, and operative hysteroscopy.
