The International Federation of Infantile and Juvenile Gynaecology (FIGIJ) has created the international recognition of the speciality of Infantile and Juvenile Gynaecology for physicians specialising in different areas who develop this speciality habitually.  This speciality is recognised by some European Universities in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Greece and France, in Canada in North America and in Argentina, Venezuela and Chile in Latin America.  There are many other universities in different countries that offer courses in this area, as is the case in almost all the European countries, the USA., Hong Kong in China, Australia and New Zealand, together with some specialised Centres in India, the Philippines and Malaysia.

The purpose of IFEPAG is to encourage Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Endocrinologists, Paediatricians, Paediatric Surgeons, Specialists in Adolescence and Family Practice Physicians  to work in Infantile and Juvenile Gynaecology and to do research in this field.  The first experience with this examination (IFEPAG) took place in 1997, at the 7th European Congress of Infantile and Juvenile Gynaecology in Vienna, and was created by  Prof. Dr. George Creatsas, Chairman of FIGIJ.

The FIGIJ  Board  has established the following  Examination sessions:

XXII IFEPAG for 24-25 SEPTEMBER 2013 in Lima, Perú on the occasion of the XIII Regional Congress of Infantile and Adolescent Gynaecology of ALOGIA, to be held between 26 to 28 September 2013. The examination will be taken in English and Spanish.
