AAGL — Making a Difference, One Member at a Time

Richard Soderstrom
Palm Springs, CA, US
Life Membership

"I am the last living AAGL Founder and as such, I continue to be connected to those involved from the early years. AAGL helped me achieve great success in my career. I was appointed to the WHO to introduce laparoscopy to developing countries and I served as the FDA advisor on endoscopes for 20 years. AAGL opens numerous doors to teaching medical education in endoscopy worldwide."

San Isidro, Argentina Lifetime Member

"By viewing videos and live surgeries I learned how to perform a laparscopic hysterecoty and later how to deal with deep infiltrating endometriosis. This improved my surgery and is good for me, for the patient, and the community.”

North Carolina, USA MIGS Fellow

"Connection with the fellowship, education, research, and mentorship has given me opportunities to learn, collaborate and advance the field. Involvement in AAGL has allowed me to become a minimally invasive surgeon, develop research ideas, and have a platform to share research.”
