Program Director Attestation

The Program Director is required to attest to your satisfactory performance by
filling out and signing a Residency Program Affidavit, attesting to your
competence, and program completion.

The Program Director is expected to sign on behalf of the program, not as an
individual.

You are required to maintain a record of the number and type of obstetric and
gynecologic procedures performed during residency to demonstrate the adequacy of
your operative experience.

Time Limitation for Eligibility

A candidate is not eligible to apply for the Qualifying Exam if more than 8 years have
elapsed since the completion of residency training. Years spent in an ACGME OB-
GYN fellowship or a second residency will not count towards the 8-year limit.

• A candidate who fails to become certified with eight years will be required to
complete a minimum of 6-months of supervised practice at a hospital affiliated
with an ACGME-accredited training program. Please review the details in the
"Regaining Eligibility for OB GYN Certification Policy" to best understand this
process.
