Fellowships

If your program was recently accredited by ACGME and you have not received your program's ABOG login information, please send an email to fellowship@abog.org and include your ACGME program number.

  • Registration starts after you have accepted a fellow (earliest registration date is October 1 for the next academic year).
  • The deadline for registration is 90 days prior to the commencement of the fellowship (e.g., April 1 for a July 1 start date).
  • If a fellow completes their fellowship training without being registered with ABOG, they will not meet the eligibility requirements to sit for the Subspecialty Qualifying and Certifying Exams.
  • Only register fellows who are eligible to be certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology by ABOG after the completion of the OB GYN residency (See Specialty Qualifying Exam and Specialty Certifying Exam for eligibility requirements). Any other fellows are considered non-candidate fellows and must not be registered.

  • Enter the incoming fellow's ABOG ID. (Residents are required to be entered into the ABOG system at the beginning of their residency, so they will have an ABOG ID). If you do not have an ABOG ID, contact the resident. ABOG cannot provide this information.
  • Enter the expected start date.
  • If the resident will be a Combined Specialty/Genetics trainee, answer "yes"; otherwise, leave "no".
  • Enter the expected end date.
  • Click "Confirm Add".
  • Please wait 15 minutes for this person to appear on your fellow list.


Trainees in a combined program must be registered prior to the first year of training regardless of whether they start in the Genetics Residency of the Subspecialty Fellowship. Also, these trainees are required to be registered with the ABMGG by completing a Trainee Information Form.
