ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: In France, we are lacking an identified pathway for training in gynaecological cancer surgery. The four competent French learned societies: the SFOG, the CNGOF, the SFCO and the SCGP supported by the CNU of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and UNICANCER agreed to materialize this course and attest it by a certification awarded by a national jury.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The national committee of certification in gynaecological oncology made up of ten members, representing the 6 concerned organizations, set itself five objectives: the definition of the eligibility criteria for training centres; the determination of a check-list to be filled by the candidate; the determination of a targeted curriculum for the training in gynecological oncological surgery; the determination of the assets necessary for the certific ation of a candidate already in practice; and the practical organization of the certification.

RESULTS: Criteria for approval of centres for training included 150 gynaecological cancer cases per year, among which 100 excisional surgeries, including twenty advanced-stage ovarian cancers. For certification of candidate who followed the curriculum established by the committee or by validation of prior experience for an actual practitioner, a candidate must validate a logbook and fill out a checklist including four parts: theoretical and practical training; research and publications; teaching and subscription to a continuing education program. The accomplished elements of the logbook and the checklist will be evaluated by a score. The first certification session is planned for the end of 2021.
