Welcome Medical Students!

Your Guide to Core Ob-Gyn Knowledge and Skills

The APGO MSOs define the essential ob-gyn health knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are fundamental to the practice of every general physician. These objectives form the foundation of your ob-gyn education and are designed to support your growth throughout your ob-gyn clerkship in medical school. They’re flexible so that your program may adapt them to meet the specific needs of your institution.
