Focused Practice Designations

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

 

Approved by ABMS in March 2017, FPDs recognize 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.
