ABMS Board-Certified OB/GYN (ABOG)

Board certification in Obstetrics and Gynecology through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG), one of the 24 member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).

WHAT THIS CREDENTIAL ACTUALLY MEANS

ISSUER
American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

ABOG is the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Board certification through ABOG is a prerequisite for most hospital-based OB/GYN positions and is a reasonable baseline signal that a physician completed accredited residency training.

What we check on every ABOG badge

  1. The physician appears in the CertificationMatters.org database as currently board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
  2. We link directly to that record so you can re-verify.
  3. We pair the ABOG badge with an HRT-signal check on the provider’s clinic website — board certification alone doesn’t mean a physician offers menopause care.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Is board certification the same as having a medical license? +

No. A license lets a physician practice. Board certification is a separate, voluntary credential showing they've completed residency in a specialty and passed that specialty's written and oral exams.

How do I verify OB/GYN board certification? +

The consumer-facing tool is certificationmatters.org, which covers all 24 ABMS boards. Every ABOG badge on this directory links to the CertificationMatters record we pulled.

Does every ABOG-certified OB/GYN offer HRT? +

No. Some OB/GYNs focus on obstetrics or surgery and don't prescribe hormone therapy. On this directory we only list ABOG-certified providers whose clinic website shows an active menopause or HRT service line.
