Core Tip	There are a number of benefits and potential challenges inherent to the ‘‘Center Of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology’’ (COEMIG) program. With an understanding of these challenges, organizations pursuing COEMIG may find advantages in efficiency, marketing and growth for both the institution and practice as a whole. There may also be reductions in complications, improvement in patient satisfaction and potentially reductions in cost that can arise as a result of COEMIG.
