What does the medical abbreviation DO FACOG mean?

The medical abbreviation DO FACOG stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It is a professional designation that indicates that the physician has met certain educational and clinical requirements and has been certified by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

To become a DO FACOG, a physician must first complete an accredited osteopathic medical school program and receive a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree. They must then complete a residency program in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) and pass a comprehensive board examination administered by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG).

In addition to meeting these requirements, DO FACOGs must also demonstrate a commitment to ongoing education and professional development by participating in continuing medical education (CME) activities and maintaining current knowledge of the latest advances in OB/GYN.

The FACOG designation is recognized as a mark of excellence in obstetrics and gynecology and is highly regarded by patients, other physicians, and healthcare professionals. DO FACOGs are highly trained and experienced physicians who are committed to providing high-quality healthcare to women.
