A Framework for Building Surgical Competence in the Practice of Gynecology
This report summarizes key points from a session at the 2024 American Gynecological & Obstetrical Society Annual Meeting focused on developing a framework on how to build and sustain competency in gynecologic surgical skills, an issue of importance for both graduating residents and practicing obstetricians and gynecologists. Recommendations include increasing focus in surgical skill training and adopting a culture of competency guided by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-directed curriculum flexibility and evolving American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Inc. competency-based initial and continuing certification processes.
