Gosman earned her medical degree from Yale School of Medicine, and she completed her OB GYN residency and fellowship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Young noted she is excited to work with Gosman, as she envisions her expertise in the realm of medical affairs will greatly complement the ABOG team’s collective experience, knowledge, and skills.
“Gabey is going to be a wonderful addition,” Young said. “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.”
