Minimally invasive surgery: the evolution of fellowship.

BACKGROUND The field of postgraduate minimally invasive surgery/gastrointestinal surgery (MIS/GIS) training has undergone substantial growth and change. To determine whether fellowships are meeting a strategic need in training, we conducted a survey to assess the current status and trends of change in MIS/GIS fellowships. METHODS A survey was distributed to fellows currently in MIS/GIS progra...
