During our recent visit to London in September 2014, five new IFEPAG fellows passed their written and oral examinations. These superstars in pediatric and adolescent gynecology include: Hanadi Adnan Bakhsh, MD, from Italy but working in Saudi Arabia; Elisabetta Ferrucci, MD, from Italy but working in Switzerland; Eva Homolkova, MD of the Czech Republic, Helena Neumannova, MD, from Prague, Czech Republic; Eveline Roos, MD, of the Netherlands. Strong work from some stellar ladies!
The IFEPAG fellows, who now number 220 from 1997 to 2014, met at the EURAPAG meeting held in London from September 17-20, 2014. We look forward to the day when pediatric and adolescent gynecology is formally recognized by all organizations worldwide as a necessary and integral part of subspecialty training. In the meanwhile, we now have 220 more experts, formally recognized through this examination, with specific expertise in PAG, ready to provide outstanding patient care, disseminate knowledge and further the research in our field! Special thanks to our former IFEPAG chairman from 1997 to 2013, Professor Ramiro Molina Cartes, for his amazing contributions to IFEPAG and to our field. He brought us into the new millenium with our current online examination and expansion of knowledge in the field. Thanks, Ramiro! Our current IFEPAG director is Professor Symphorosa Chan of Hong Kong; Deputy Codirectors are Professors Gabriele Tridenti of Italy and Sonia Grover of Australia, and our IFA coordinator is Professor Dvora Bauman of Israel.
