The SFITS is a GESEA accredited center since 2024 and hosts 6 practical sessions, combining GESEA modules with specific laparoscopic hands-on on organic material.

The GESEA (Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment) program is a structured training program in gynaecological endoscopy, designed to ensure the acquisition of essential knowledge and the certification of practical skills necessary for surgical competence.

Acquiring a GESEA Level 2 Certification is an ISFM requirement for obtaining a diploma in obstetrics and gynecology. The SFITS is now an ESGE-accredited training center. It offers high quality training before the certification exam
