SASGOG

What SASGOG does

SASGOG (Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology) is a national nonprofit professional society founded in 2012 and headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, that serves academic generalist OB/GYN physicians practicing within academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, and accredited medical schools in the United States and Canada. Its core offerings are membership-based services organized around five tiers — Individual Membership ($250/year, full voting), Associate Membership ($200/year, allied health professionals and non-OB/GYN physicians), Early Career Membership ($55/year or free via Supporting Institutions), Emeritus Membership (complimentary for retirees), and Supporting Institution Membership ($500/year for academic medical centers) — plus an Annual Meeting conference, the PROGRESS research training program, the CREST Clinical Research/Reproductive Scientist Training Program (delivered with ASRM, NICHD, Duke, and University of Colorado), mentorship matching, a job board (careers.sasgog.org), award programs (Faculty Award, Resident Award, Excellence in Research Award, Best Manuscript Award, AAOGF/SASGOG $25,000 Pilot Grant), and educational content including Pearls of Exxcellence, SASGOG textbooks, and the Patient Safety & Quality Improvement (PSQI) Lexicon.

The organization's underlying technology stack is conventional web infrastructure (a WordPress site at sasgog.org, a MemberClicks-hosted member portal, a dedicated job board platform, and social channels on Facebook, X, and Instagram) rather than proprietary technology. Revenue mechanics are dominated by recurring annual membership dues across the five tiers, supplemented by annual meeting registration fees, institutional supporting memberships, award/grant co-funding (notably the AAOGF joint pilot grant), and employer-side job posting on the career board. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on Supporting Institutions to validate trainee eligibility and facilitate free memberships, partnerships with ACOG, AMA, NIH, ASRM, and various academic medical centers to extend reach, and a Resident Reporter Program that recruits PGY-4 trainees as social media correspondents to amplify engagement. The organization is independently operated by a Board of Directors, with Momentum Association Management providing association management services, and serves more than 100 Supporting Institutions across ACGME-accredited U.S. and Canadian residency training programs.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): ACOG is the largest U.S. professional society for OB/GYN physicians with far broader membership and advocacy reach. SASGOG operates as a specialty-vertical society within the same physician base, offering academic generalist focus that ACOG's broad portfolio does not address directly.

Direct peers

• Society of Gynecologic Surgeons (SGS): SGS serves the gynecologic surgery subspecialty of OB/GYN with comparable academic focus and membership-based programming. SASGOG partners with SGS through the Kenneth Noller Endowment Lecture on surgical education.
• American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS): AUGS is another OB/GYN subspecialty society (urogynecology) with similar membership-based structure and academic focus. Comparable in scale and operations to SASGOG as a small specialty society within academic OB/GYN.
• Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM): SMFM is the professional society for the maternal-fetal medicine subspecialty of OB/GYN. SASGOG sits alongside SMFM and other OB/GYN subspecialty societies (ASRM, AUGS, SGO) serving specific OB/GYN niches within academic medicine.
• Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO): SGO is the OB/GYN subspecialty society for gynecologic oncology, another academic subspecialty society comparable in structure and mission to SASGOG.
• Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO): APGO supports OB/GYN medical student education and faculty teaching, with overlap in academic OB/GYN faculty and institutional membership. Comparable as an academic-focused OB/GYN professional society serving similar institutional customers.

Peers

• American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM): ASRM is the OB/GYN subspecialty society for reproductive endocrinology/infertility and is a strategic SASGOG partner via the CREST research training program. It serves an adjacent OB/GYN subspecialty academic community with comparable membership society structure.
• Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG): CREOG is the OB/GYN resident education arm under ACOG that shares SASGOG's focus on medical education and trainee development. Both organizations support OB/GYN residency programs across academic medical centers.

Others

• American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG): ABOG is the physician certification body that defines eligibility for SASGOG Individual Membership (ABOG or AOBOG certification). ABOG is a credentialing organization rather than a membership society, but it shapes SASGOG's addressable member pool.
• American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Foundation (AAOGF): AAOGF is a research-grant foundation that partners with SASGOG on the joint AAOGF/SASGOG Pilot Grant. As a funding partner for academic OB/GYN research, AAOGF interacts directly with SASGOG's research programming agenda.
