Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery: Where Are We in 2021?

The field of urogynecology, or female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS), has expanded tremendously in the last decade. While the American Urogynecologic Society was founded in 1979, it was more than 30 years later, in 2012, that FPMRS was first officially recognized as a subspecialty by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Following a 3-year fellowship, FPMRS-trained subspecialists in OB/GYN complete both written and oral board examinations through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
