BACKGROUND: To identify factors that enable gynecologic oncology fellows to achieve goals set by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). METHOD: Survey questions identified demographics, mentorship status, productivity, career plans, and opinions in a fourth fellowship year. RESULTS: Reasons cited for choosing specific programs were academic reputation, faculty, geographic location, and research opportunities. Two thirds identified a clinical or basic science mentor. There was an association between having a research mentor and expectation for completing one's thesis (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Achieving goals set by ABOG may be related to the presence of a research mentor.
