EBCOG is the Board of the UEMS Section Obstetrics and Gynaecology. EBCOG Is the pan European organisation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology . 33 National Societies belong to EBCOG and the UEMS Section. EBCOG wants to harmonise and improve postgraduate education and medical care in the profit for the women and the unborn and newborn child.

EBCOG and the Section have recognised four Subspecialties in Europe; Maternal- Fetal Medicine, Reproductive Medicine, Gynaecologic Oncology, and Urogynaecology. The Scientific organisations governing these Subspecialties are members of the Executive Committee and Council of EBCOG and the Section.

An important Committee in EBCOG is the Standing Committee on Training and Assessment(SCTA).

This committee reflects on the total aspect of postgraduate education and CMECPD.

Three major Scientific organisations in Europe are active members of this SCTA: The European Society of Contraception, The European Federation of Colposcopy and the European Society of Gynaecologic Endoscopy.

There is an excellent mutual collaboration between EBCOG and the Section and the Scientific organisations.
