However, ESGO may decide to require an onsite visit, e.g. based on earlier recommendations.
After another 5 years (so 10 years in total) the re-accreditation will again be done by a physical on-site re-visit.

"ESGO stands for care for women with gynaecological cancer and takes all efforts to maintain good standards all over Europe.
ESGO hopes and expects that centers, which train our new generation of gynaecological oncologists, will proudly show their commitment to training by ESGO accreditation. Equally, ESGO will thus help our new generation of gynaecological oncologists to provide a hallmark of good care."

The Gynecologic Oncology Service, Department for Woman and Child Health, Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, IRCCS, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome, Italy, has been accredited as European Training Centre in Gynecologic Oncology on April 19, 2018.
This important result has been obtained after rigorous review of number of cases treated per year and hospital facilities for patients and doctors, from representatives from ESGO (Prof. D. Haidopulos) and from ENYGO (Dr. K. Zawleski).
As a consequence, four positions for fellows in gynecologic oncology have been opened, starting on this year and lasting for five years.
This acknowledgment is particularly important in Italy, where, differently from other countries in Europe, no fellowship or subspecialty programs have been designed yet.
Thanks to ESGO, this training program will be the natural interface with Europe for the new generation of young doctors, working in an international network.
