Note: In Fall 2023, the AOBOG officially changed the name of the Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) subspecialty to Urogynecology & Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery (URPS) to more accurately describe the subspecialty with a name that is more recognizable to patients and the public, as well as referring providers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

FPMRS certificates were issued from 2012 through 2023. The first exams administered under the URPS subspecialty name will take place in Spring 2024. AOBOG will provide all current FPMRS subspecialists a replacement certificate displaying their certification in URPS by the end of 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
