Mission
Supporting OB-GYN professionals. Advancing obstetric and gynecologic care in North Carolina.
The North Carolina Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (NCOGS), founded in 1981, was created to unite and advance the shared professional interests of OB-GYNs across the state. What began as a focused initiative has grown into a vibrant community of nearly 1,000 members—spanning physicians, residents, and advanced practice providers—dedicated to excellence in obstetrical and gynecological health.
