Abstract:
After World War II there was a blooming association between German and American Obstetricians-Gynecologists. When young German scientists began Fellowships in the US, they found German Professors of all ranks teaching in the various medical schools. At present there is no connection between the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe (DGGG) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ACOG. There is however a close cooperation between ACOG and the Berufsverband der Frauenärzte (BVF) who invite their presidents on a yearly basis. An advanced formalization of the affilitiation between the two German Societies and ACOG is expected to benefit all Societies while not interfering with European connections.
