Explanation: OB/GYN è l'abbreviazione di medico ostetrico ginecologo, da noi detto più semplicemente ginecologo, la s indica, come sempre in inglese, la forma plurale
OB/GYN: A commonly used abbreviation. OB is short for obstetrics or for an obstetrician, a physician who delivers babies. GYN is short for gynecology or for a gynecologist, a physician who specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive organs. The word "gynecology" comes from the Greek gyno, gynaikos meaning woman + logia meaning study, so gynecology literally is the study of women. These days gynecology is focused largely on disorders of the female reproductive organs. An obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) is therefore a physician who both delivers babies and treats diseases of the female reproductive organs.
Extend STD treatment beyond patients, say ob-gyns

OB/GYNs can have private practices, work in hospital or clinic settings, and maintain teaching positions at university hospitals. OB/GYNs may also work public health and preventive medicine administrations.
OB/GYNs have a broad base of knowledge and can vary their professional focus. Many develop unique practices, providing high-quality health care for women. OB/GYNs may choose to specialize in the following areas:

Le abbreviazioni riguardano senza dubbio i termini "obstetrics" e "gynaecology" (USA: "gynecology"), ma non mi spiego la "s" dopo "GYN". Sembra quasi un errore dell'autore del testo, quasi come se avesse assimilato il suffisso del secondo termine a quello del primo, e presupposto perciò che si dicesse "gyn(a)ecologics", esattamente come "obstetrics", la qual cosa, invece, non mi risulta proprio. Ad ogni modo è solo una mia ipotesi.
