ABOG, a premier certifying body offering OB-GYN physicians voluntary board certification using scientific, evidence-based standards and practices, endorses a culture that actively supports the organization’s mission to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health. To that end, ABOG fosters professional behavior and actions in furtherance of our core values: scientific, intentional, respectful, innovative, reliable, and inclusive. ​

Additionally, our foremost responsibility is to patients and the public through initial and ongoing certification of our diplomates, and in order to actuate that obligation, we believe in and embody a culture intentionally guided by a collective of varied life experiences and broad points of view to ensure ABOG certification is respectful and inclusive of the breadth of perspectives held by our diplomates and their patients. ​

ABOG upholds these principles through intentional actions, ever evolving our certification processes through innovation and ensuring reliability in our assessments. Moreover, our values, represented through our behaviors, support stewardship of our culture across all aspects of our business practices, including but not limited to policies, statements, assessments, standards, committee structures and functions, and volunteer nomination processes. ​
