Associate Executive Director and Chief of Medical Affairs American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) | Dallas, Texas The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) seeks an accomplished and collaborative physician leader to become its Associate Executive Director (AED) and Chief of Medical Affairs (COMA). Since its founding in 1927, ABOG has delivered on its mission to define standards in the field, certify obstetricians and gynecologists (OB GYNS), and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women's health. Certification by ABOG provides assurance to the public that a physician has the competencies essential to delivering high-quality care to women and a commitment to lifelong learning and improvement.The COMA will join an essential institution with a strong operation in solid financial standing prepared to continue advancing its mission in an increasingly complex world. Since the first certificates were awarded in 1931, ABOG has awarded more than 65,000 certificates in Obstetrics and Gynecology and more than 7,200 certificates in the subspecialties. The number of board-certified OB GYNs is on the rise, with nearly 1,500 specialists and 500 subspecialists having been newly certified in the past year. As of 2023, ABOG has over 37,000 active diplomates certified in OB GYN and over 6,800 in a subspecialty (physicians who are participating in continuous certification). In 2024, ABOG’s new home, a state-of-the-art building located in Uptown Dallas, opened, allowing for more useable office and meeting spaces, as well as on-site testing.The COMA will build on these foundations as the organization looks to the era ahead. Following the appointment of ABOG’s new Executive Director (ED), Dr. Amy Young, on September 13, 2023, ABOG seeks to capitalize on its forward momentum and exciting vision with the appointment of a chief innovator to continue to establish and automate credentialing standards for diplomates, as well as build relationships with internal and external constituents to ABOG. ABOG’s critical work of credentialing OB GYNs for practice has never been more important, and the COMA will seize the moment on behalf of diplomates and patients.
