Gynecologists and which professionals can be board-certified through the Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties?

• A. Urologists
• B. Neonatologists
• C. Obstetricians
• D. Pediatricians

Answer: (C)

Board certification for obstetrics and gynecology is handled by a specialty board that certifies physicians who practice in that field. The Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) specifically certifies obstetricians and gynecologists, covering physicians who focus on pregnancy, childbirth, and the female reproductive system. Urologists are certified by the Board of Urology, neonatologists by pediatrics boards (often through the American Board of Pediatrics), and pediatricians by the American Board of Pediatrics. So, the professionals eligible for ABOG certification are obstetricians, i.e., those who practice obstetrics within OB/GYN.
