GOGS Mission Statement: Articles should remain consistent with the GOGS mission statement: to improve obstetrical and gynecological teaching in all levels and areas of training; to improve the practice of obstetrics and gynecology in the State of Georgia by requirement of the high standards of practice and maintenance of such standards by encouragement and promotion of continuing postgraduate education; to cooperate with all agencies and organizations who seek to improve obstetrical and gynecological care in our state and to institute such measures which will serve to stimulate interest, increase knowledge, and promote fellowship among our members.

Section 3- CDC Health Equity Style Guide

All articles should follow the GOGS commitment to end systemic and institutional racism. Publications should convey equity and diversity in both images and language, including using gender neutral pronouns when possible. Adherence to the CDC’s Health Equity Style Guide is recommended. That guide is found here. The guide emphasizes the importance of addressing all people inclusively, with respect, including using non-stigmatizing, bias-free language. Avoid perpetuating negative stereotypes or blaming people for their own life circumstances or health status when reporting data or information about health disparities.
