Focused Practice Designation

ABOG currently offers Focused Practice Designations in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery (MIGS) and Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (PAG). The process for obtaining Focused Practice Designations with the ABOG is voluntary.

 

The focused practice designation, approved by ABMS in March 2017, recognizes the value that diplomates who focus some or all their practice within a specific area of a specialty and/or subspecialty can provide to improving health care. It reflects an evolution of practice that occurs following initial certification and is relevant to continuing certification.
