Hologic partners with AAGL and Inovus Medical on OB-GYN training for EMIGS

Hologic announced an innovative new partnership with the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, AAG,L and Inovus Medical. Hologic becomes the chief provider of hysteroscopes for AAGL’s Essentials in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery or EMIGS, hands-on hysteroscopy skills training for OB-GYN residents. “At Hologic, we believe high-quality medical education can inspire positive change. Women’s health technology has significantly improved over the years, but current training options have not taken these advancements into consideration. Through this innovative partnership, we aim to elevate minimally invasive gynecologic surgical training and improve women’s healthcare by educating future OB-GYNs on newer treatment options for common gynecologic conditions,” said Essex Mitchell, President of Hologic’s Gynecologic Surgical Solutions Division. AAGL, the premier global association in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, began offering the EMIGS-validated training and testing program in 2022 to provide a gynecology-specific cognitive and skills test that allows OB-GYN residents to meet the Surgical Skills Program Standard for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology examination.
