What is MIS fellowship? Community and academic program experience.

MIS fellowship has been a well-established fellowship program under the Fellowship Council guideline. In our study, we aimed to identify the categories of fellowship training and the perspective case volumes in academic vs community setting. We conclude that fellowship training experience is similar in case volumes of commonly performed cases when comparing academic and community programs. However, there is substantial variability in the operative experience among MIS fellowship programs. Further study is necessary to identify the quality of fellowship training experience.
