Q: What does it mean when the doctor is board-eligible or board-certified ?
A: The American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology certifies graduates of approved ob/gyn residency training programs as board eligible. This means an individual 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 (otherwise known as a diplomate,) a physician must have successfully passed 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.
Q: What does F.A.C.O.G. stand for ?
A: F.A.C.O.G. stands for “Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology”. Once a physician has achieved diplomate (board certified) status he/she may apply for membership in the national society dedicated to advancing women’s healthcare. The College establishes national guidelines concerning women’s health in the United States.
