What Does FACOG Mean?FACOG means Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Once a physician is board certified as an obstetrician/gynecologist, he or
she may apply for membership in the College. This national society is dedicated
to advancing women's healthcare and establishes national guidelines concerning
women's health in the United States.
What Does it Mean to be Board Certified?The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology certifies graduates of approved
OB/GYN residency training programs as board eligible. This means the physician
has received a medical degree and has completed four years of advanced, intensive
training in all aspects of the specialty. In order to be board certified, the
physician must successfully pass a comprehensive written exam, usually done at
the completion of the final year of residency. After two years in practice, the
doctor must then complete an oral exam before a national examining board. It is
only after successfully passing both tests that a physician can be considered
board certified as a specialist. An obstetrician/gynecologist requires recertification
every 10 years.
