[What about fellowship for French residents in obstetrics and gynecology?].
OBJECTIVE
Evaluation of French fellowship positions in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OG).


METHODS
We sent a questionnaire to the representative of the French OG training association (Association des Gynécologues-Obstétriciens en Formation, AGOF) of the 26 regions of France. We counted the fellowship positions in university and non university teaching hospitals. We also enumerated the French residents in OG. This gave an estimate of how many French residents in OG will accede to a fellowship position in university and non university teaching hospitals.


RESULTS
We counted 876 French residents in OG and 257 fellowship positions: 154 in university hospitals and 103 in non university hospitals. We estimated that 43.9% of French residents in OG will accede to a fellowship position in university hospitals and 73.2% in non university hospitals.


CONCLUSIONS
73.3% of French residents in OG will accede to a fellowship position, with 43.9% in a university hospital.
