}}In the UK, the [[Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists]], based in London, encourages the study and advancement of both the science and practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. This is done through postgraduate medical education and training development, and the publication of clinical guidelines and reports on aspects of the specialty and service provision. The RCOG International Office works with other international organisations to help lower maternal morbidity and mortality in under-resourced countries.<ref>{{Cite web |title=RCOG strategy |url=https://www.rcog.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do/rcog-strategy/ |access-date=2025-02-28 |website=RCOG |language=en-gb}}</ref>

In the United States, obstetrics and gynecology requires residency training for four years. This encompasses comprehensive clinical and surgical education. [[Obstetrics and gynaecology|OBGYN]] residents participate in a yearly in-training exam that is administered by the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG). Research suggests that combining curriculum and focused mentorship can improve residents' performance on the exam and overall educational outcomes.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Lundeberg |first1=Kathleen R |last2=Madison |first2=Shannon |last3=Lo |first3=Nancy |last4=Maxwell |first4=Rose |last5=Massengill |first5=Jason |date=2024-11-01 |title=Resident Performance on the Obstetrics and Gynecology In-Training Examination After Implementation of a New Academic Curriculum |journal=Cureus |volume=16 |issue=11 |pages=e72861 |language=en |doi=10.7759/cureus.72861 |doi-access=free |issn=2168-8184 |pmc=11610421 |pmid=39624527}}</ref>
