Case Log

    Candidates must submit a 12-month case log documenting a practice that demonstrates sufficient depth and breadth of focused practice in MIGS. The case log must document evidence of focused practice by having a minimum of 100 minimally invasive gynecologic surgical procedures in patients with benign and complex gynecologic conditions in the 12-month collection period. They must have cases in more than one category on the case log meeting the minimum number of cases for those categories and the combined total number must be 100 surgical cases or more. Additionally, the cases must be ones in which the candidate was the primary surgeon and cannot include cases performed during fellowship.

     

    Case logs that do not meet the breadth and depth of surgical experience requirements for the Focused Practice Designation in MIGS will be reviewed by an ABOG Committee for application approval. A draft example of the case log follows. Candidates will be asked to submit the case log at the time of application.
