In this post, I link to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) List of Titles — February 2023 [link is to 13-page PDF of all ACOG practice resources]. The list covers almost every women’s health issue and is worth frequent review.
All that follows is from the above outstanding resource:
List of Titles — February 2023

Committee Statements address issues related to the practice of obstetrics and gynecology, such as ethics and access to care for underserved populations.
Clinical Practice Guidelines provide clinical management recommendations that are developed through assessment of the benefits and harms of care options based on a systematic review of the evidence.
Practice Bulletins are evidence-based documents that summarize current information on techniques and clinical managementissues for the practice of obstetrics and gynecology.
Obstetric Care Consensus documents are developed jointly with the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and include high-quality, consistent, and concise clinical recommendations for practicing obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists.
