How much training does an Ob/Gyn physician have?
In addition to graduating from medical school, our Ob/Gyn physicians have completed a 4-year residency training program in obstetrics and gynecology. If they decide to pursue further specialty training, then they complete an additional 2 to 4 year fellowship. After training is completed, an Ob/Gyn takes both a written and oral exam in order to become “board certified.” This distinguishes the physician as a true specialist in his or her field. Continued certification is achieved through periodic exams and specialized classes throughout the physician’s career. All of our Ob/Gyns are board certified or are in the process of achieving this designation as a women’s health specialist.
