EFOG-EBCOG Part 1 study guide

The EFOG-EBCOG Part 1 is the first stage of the European Fellowship of Obstetrics and Gynaecology pathway offered by the European Board & College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG). EBCOG describes the goal simply: "Become a European Fellow of Obstetrics and Gynaecology." The Part 1 examination is a knowledge-based assessment (KBA) delivered in a multiple-choice format, aimed at trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology who have completed or are nearing completion of core training and want external, Europe-wide validation of their theoretical grounding. Content spans the full specialty, split between obstetrics and gynaecology, mirroring the breadth of the EBCOG European Training Curriculum and the EBCOG Postgraduate Textbook of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, both of which EBCOG flags on its site as preparation resources. Candidates typically prepare by working systematically through a curriculum-mapped textbook, then moving to applied question practice that mixes basic science, clinical management, and emergency scenarios. EBCOG also advertises pre-exam courses, which can help structure revision.
