Abstract
This article explores the purpose and scope of three key organization types in the field of obstetrics and gynecology that guide residency and fellowship training and establish training requirements: 1) the certifying boards, 2) the specialty societies, and 3) the residency and fellowship training program accrediting bodies. Each organization type plays a distinct role in the training, certification, and professional development of obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States. An awareness of these unique roles and scopes is crucial to understanding how these organizations independently and collaboratively work to advance the shared goal of excellence in obstetrics and gynecology graduate medical education and improved health outcomes.
