To join the 2026 cohort of 12 mentees in Ottawa, applicants should meet the following criteria:
  1. Professional Role: Must be a practicing Canadian gynecologist.
  2. Experience Level: Ideal for non‑fellowship‑trained surgeons, within 10 years of graduating from your residency program, who are eager to expand their surgical comfort zone. Not for MIS fellowship-trained surgeons.
  3. Surgical Privileges: You currently hold hospital privileges for the excision of superficial endometriosis.
  4. Commitment to Education: Must attend the full pre‑conference course on June 16, 2026, including dynamic lectures and hands‑on simulation practice.
  5. Ongoing Participation: Must commit to a 6‑month mentorship period following the conference, including:
    1. Personalized pairing with a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship‑trained mentor (matched by CanSAGE).
    2. Submission of surgical video footage for mentor review, with up to two one‑hour feedback sessions over six months.

Selection Process:
Space is limited to approximately 12 mentees. If there are more eligible applicants than spots available, selection will be conducted at random.
