IPEG is the leading global association for pediatric minimally invasive surgery — bringing together surgeons, trainees, and allied health professionals around a shared mission: advancing evidence-based education, research, and collaboration in children's surgical care.
What membership gives you:
- Direct access to the leaders shaping the field. IPEG has built its reputation on exactly this — unmatched networking with the surgeons and innovators defining where pediatric MIS is headed. Through the Annual Meeting, endorsed courses, and everyday member interactions, you're learning alongside them, not just reading about them.
- A global community. Connect with colleagues across more than 50 countries who share your specialty and your commitment to advancing the field.
- Discounted Annual Meeting registration. IPEG's Annual Scientific and General Meeting is the year's premier gathering for pediatric MIS — members register at a reduced rate.
- Journal access. Members receive a reduced subscription rate to the Journal of Pediatric Surgery, IPEG's official journal.
- Committee and leadership opportunities. From Core and Special Committees to Task Forces, there are direct paths to get involved beyond attending meetings — including a track toward Executive Board service for members who build committee experience.
- Membership tiers built for where you are in your career — from Surgeon-in-Training through Tier 1–3 Surgeon and Allied Health Professional, with a no-cost Senior tier for members retired from clinical practice after years of active service.
