CREOG Exam

Each year, an examination under the auspices of the Council of Resident Education in OB/GYN (CREOG) is given to all residents. The individual resident may discover areas of strengths and weaknesses in his/her training and areas that may need more study and development. In addition, the results of this examination will reflect the outside reading and study of each resident.

Junior Fellow in ACOG

All residents are encouraged to become junior fellows in the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) during their residency training program. Membership dues are paid for by the residency program.
