Editor-in-Chief: Rogerio A. Lobo, MD, Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University, New York

From the Editor-in-Chief's Preface:
"As our knowledge base expands, it is imperative that all residents have access to the latest information in a concise and efficient manner. The Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) first published educational objectives in 1976. Since then, quadrennial updates have been published providing all residents in OB/GYN with the core curriculum of what they are expected to know. The current update was released in 2009.

"This study guide closely follows the format and content of the latest CREOG core curriculum. The intent is for residents to have easy access to all parts of the core curriculum to help the studying process during their 4 year residency. This guide should also be helpful for the in-training CREOG examinations."

The fourth edition of this comprehensive review includes 33 chapters, authored by a stellar national faculty, in five main areas:

• Primary and Preventive Care and Ethics
• Obstetrics
• Gynecology
• Reproductive Endocrinology
• Gynecologic Oncology
