About this exam
The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology Complex Family Planning Qualifying Examination is a subspecialty certification exam for physicians pursuing certification in complex family planning. It assesses knowledge used in clinical practice, rather than serving as an entrance exam for fellowship. Candidates generally complete the required fellowship training and meet ABOG’s current certification and application requirements. Eligibility, application steps, and examination details can vary by cycle, so physicians should consult the official ABOG materials for the 2027–2028 cycle.
Core areas to review include reproductive anatomy, physiology and early pregnancy; contraceptive counseling and shared decision-making; contraceptive methods, efficacy, safety and medical eligibility; and long-acting reversible contraception procedures and complications. Preparation also involves connecting clinical evidence and patient-specific factors to appropriate care. Use the current ABOG exam materials to confirm the scope and format, then build a study plan around areas that need reinforcement. Focused online MCQ practice can help identify gaps, but should supplement—not replace—review of authoritative clinical and board resources.
How to prepare for the Complex Family Planning Qualifying Examination
- Organize review around the exam’s clinical domains: reproductive physiology and early pregnancy, contraceptive counseling, method selection and eligibility, and LARC procedures and complications.
- Use timed question sets to practice applying evidence to clinical scenarios; review the reasoning behind both correct and incorrect answers and track recurring knowledge gaps.
- Check ABOG’s current candidate materials for eligibility, examination scope, format, and application requirements, and use current professional guidelines and trusted clinical references to guide content review.
