Endorsement denotes that ACOG fully supports the clinical guidance in the document. Clinical documents endorsed by ACOG are considered official ACOG clinical guidance. Endorsed document hyperlinks are featured in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Use of Language
ACOG recognizes and supports the gender diversity of all patients who seek obstetric and gynecologic care. We encourage all authors of endorsed materials to use gender-inclusive language. However, because endorsed materials include the gender terminology adopted by the authors, some endorsed materials may not fully reflect ACOG’s policy on inclusive language. See ACOG’s policy on inclusive language for more information.
