ACOG is not affiliated with the American Board of Obstetricians and Gynecology (ABOG). Board certification qualifies Junior Fellow members for Fellow status but transfer to Fellow is only granted after a completed Fellow application has been received, processed and approved by the Executive Board. Please allow up to four (4) months to process. After approval has been granted, new Fellows are admitted and notified by mail on a monthly basis.
