Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

Overview

RTCOG is the Thai professional college certifying obstetrician-gynaecologist specialists, including subspecialists in reproductive medicine, maternal-fetal medicine, and gynaecological oncology. RTCOG fellowship requires passing the College's examinations and is the recognised credential for OB-GYN practice in Thailand.

Founded: 1968 · Headquarters: Bangkok, Thailand

What It Covers

RTCOG sets training and examination standards for specialist OB-GYN practice and maintains a fellowship register. It also publishes clinical practice guidelines and continuing education materials. For IVF practice specifically, RTCOG sub-specialty certification in reproductive medicine is the recognised qualification.

Limitations

RTCOG fellowship is a specialist credential complementing — not replacing — Medical Council of Thailand licensure. Patients should verify both: a current TMC licence and a relevant RTCOG fellowship for the specific subspecialty being sought.

Renewal and Validity

Fellowship is once-awarded; specialty practice is subject to TMC licence renewal and continuing professional development.
