About ABOG
Our mission is to define specialty standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women's health.
Overview
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) is a non-profit organization that board certifies obstetricians and gynecologists (OB-GYNS) and also offers continuous certification (Maintenance of Certification) to OB-GYNS in the United States and Canada.
