How can patients verify the credentials of their gynecological providers?
Patients can verify the credentials of their gynecological providers by checking the provider's licensing status with the state medical board or nursing board. They can also look up board certification through organizations like the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) for OB-GYNs or the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) for CNMs. Online databases and professional organization websites often provide this information.
