One of the requirements for sitting for the Subspecialty Qualifying Exam is a signed Fellowship Training Affidavit. The affidavit is signed by the Fellowship Program Director, attesting to the fellow's satisfactory competence and completion of the program.
The Fellowship Training Affidavit will be a task on the current Program director's ABOG portal. Program Directors will log in at www.abog.org, click on the Administrative Tasks tab and then select the Sign Training Affidavits task. The task will become available for the Fellowship Program Director in their ABOG portal for each fellow 31 days prior to the fellow's completion date.
The Fellowship Training Affidavit must be completed by the current Program Director for the fellow’s test results to be released in October of the year of the exam. The fellow’s results from the Subspecialty Qualifying Examination will not be released to the fellow until the Fellowship Training Affidavit has been completed for them.
