“Gabey is going to be a wonderful addition,” Executive Director Amy Young, MD, said in a statement. “Her experience will greatly strengthen our ability to be more forward-thinking about the future of credentialing and standard-setting and will enable us to evolve to serve our candidates and diplomates even more effectively. She is so well-suited for this role. Her strategic thinking, medical education acumen, and outstanding leadership capabilities will drive much of our approach regarding professionalism and practice standards going forward to ensure delivery of safe, high-quality OB GYN care to patients.”

This is the second hiring announcement by ABOG since Aug. 27, when the organization announced that Kenneth Kim, MD, MHPE, FACOG, FACS, had been hired as associate executive director and chief of medical practice and certification innovation. Kim begins his tenure on Sept. 30.

In her new role, Gosman will work to continue establishing and automating credentialing standards for ABOG diplomates, as well as further enhance relationships with internal and external constituents to ABOG, including partners at the American Board of Medical Specialties, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and with OB GYN specialty societies.

Working alongside Young and with the board of directors, members, and staff, Gosman will serve as a strategic leader, applying innovative thought and her medical affairs and graduate medical education expertise to OB GYN practice standards, professionalism, and credentialing processes.

Gosman joined ABOG from a five-year tenure as vice president, medical affairs at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. She also has had a career as a clinician educator by virtue of her work as a professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Gosman chaired the ACGME Review Committee for Obstetrics and Gynecology from 2021-2024 and served as associate designated institutional official for the UPMC Medical Education from 2010-2024.

Gosman earned her medical degree from Yale School of Medicine and completed her OB GYN residency and fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

“This is such an important time to focus on the health of patients and communities served by ABOG diplomates and candidates,” Gosman said. “I’m honored to join this talented and visionary ABOG team to work toward our shared mission.”
