ABOG has implemented an alternate pathway to achieve OB GYN Certification for qualified physicians. More information on this policy is available here. All questions shown below must be answered, and pending your responses, you may be asked to submit documentation to complete your application. All requested documentation must be uploaded for your application to be considered and evaluated. If your application is approved, you will be contacted directly with instructions to proceed.
ABOG requires attestation of medical professionalism, professional standing, communication, fitness for practice, and the quality of patient care from peers familiar with the candidate's practice in obstetrics and gynecology and women's healthcare. All letters outlined below must be from individuals familiar with the applicant's current practice (through direct experience or knowledge) and attest to the physician's patient care skills, medical professionalism, and communication skills.
For your application to be considered, please upload:
- Verification of at least 4 years of training in OB GYN
- ECFMG certificate, if applicable
- OB GYN certification in training of country or practice, if applicable
- Medical license
- Two letters of endorsement of ability of competence to practice OB GYN independently from ABOG-certified physicians in good standing
