AUGS-SGS Subgroup of the FPRN®
The AUGS–SGS FPRN® Subgroup, established in 2014 as a collaboration between AUGS and SGS, focuses on advancing research in urogynecology and pelvic floor function. The purpose of the AUGS–SGS Group within the FPRN® is to provide fellows with a collaborative, multi-center research environment dedicated to pelvic floor disorders. The network aims to build fellows’ confidence, skills, and efficiency as developing researchers. Through participation, fellows engage with both peers and leading experts in urogynecology, gaining valuable research experience while establishing professional connections across the United States and Canada—connections that often last well beyond fellowship.
