2019-2020 SOGH Committees
SOGH seeks to engage members in volunteer opportunities, including service on committees. Committee member recruitment typically takes place in September/October each year with Committees set and meeting by November/December. Contact SOGH for more information regarding committee service and meeting schedules.
The purpose of the Core Competencies Committee is to establish standards for the knowledge, skills, and attitudes expected of hospitalists in our field and provide a framework for education and training of current and future physicians. Multiple phases of the project have including conducting research, developing a comprehensive strategy and timeline, establishing a list of partner organizations with whom we hope to collaborate and writing specific content. Establishing core competencies will have far-reaching benefits for physicians and our patients. Through this exciting work, SOGH and our members have the potential to shape patient care and the future of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
