Endometriosis Special Interest Group (EndoSIG)
EndoSIG’s Mission Statement:
The mission of the Endometriosis Special Interest Group (EndoSIG) is to further the goals of the ASRM by fostering increased interest in the biology, pathophysiology and clinical management of endometriosis. We also aim to increase awareness of endometriosis as a chronic, systemic disease with multifactorial effects throughout the body, extending beyond the pelvis. Doing so will facilitate clinical diagnosis and allow for more comprehensive treatment. We are committed to increasing knowledge in this area through research and education of physicians, nurses, embryologists, epidemiologists and scientists as well as other allied health professionals. Our ultimate objectives are to improve patient care; provide a forum for networking, exchange of ideas and mentoring of young members; and promote the highest standards of ethical and critical investigation.
2024-2025 Endometriosis Special Interest Group Leadership:
Chair: Dr. Simone Ferrero
Chair Elect: Dr. Michael Neblett
Vice Chair: Dr. Engin Oral
Immediate Past Chair: Dr. Valeria Flores
Past Chair: Dr. Sawsan As-Sanie
