Home | ACOG Overview & Contact Data

acog.org is the official website of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a professional membership organization for obstetrician–gynecologists, residents, and other members of the women’s health workforce. The College publishes clinical practice guidelines, committee opinions, patient education resources, and position statements that help providers make informed decisions about obstetric and gynecologic care. Its content covers a broad range of topics, from prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum health to contraception, reversible contraception, contraceptive care, and informed contraceptive counseling. Beyond clinical guidance, ACOG serves as a resource for practice management, career development, credentialing support, and continuing medical education. The site supports physicians navigating clinical questions, medical-legal issues, and policy matters that affect their practices. It also addresses public health topics such as immunization, vaccination recommendations, and the role of obstetrician–gynecologists in preventive care. For patients and families, the College provides plain-language materials that explain procedures, treatment options, and decision-making, including discussions of abortion care, access to abortion, and the clinical standards associated with progress abortion when applicable. ACOG is notable for its influence on obstetric and gynecologic standards in the United States and its role in care advocacy for patients and providers. The organization works to improve women’s health through research, education, policy engagement, and initiatives that address gaps in access to reproductive health services. Its website functions as a central hub for clinicians seeking authoritative guidance, for health systems reviewing standards of care, and for patients looking for reliable information about contraception, pregnancy, and related medical services and reproductive care.
