Understanding the Distinct Roles of 3 Authoritative OB-GYN Entities
Description
In this episode of the Talking Women’s Health Podcast, host Dr. Amy Young welcomes two distinguished guests—Dr. Sandra E. Brooks, CEO of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and Dr. Meredith Alston, Chair of the ACGME Obstetrics and Gynecology Review Committee—to unpack the distinct yet interconnected roles of three authoritative organizations shaping the OB-GYN specialty: ABOG, ACOG, and ACGME.
Together, they explore:
- The unique missions and responsibilities of each organization
- How collaboration across these entities advances the field
- Innovative strategies to support OB-GYN trainees and practicing physicians
Listeners will gain clarity on how these organizations operate “in their own lanes” while working in tandem to elevate care, education, and professional standards in women’s health. The episode concludes with powerful takeaways from each guest on what providers and patients should understand about the value of these institutions.
