What's the difference between an OB/GYN and a FACOG?

I know what OB/GYN stands for but I don't know what FACOG stands for or how their area of specialty differs.

Answer:
OB/GYN is their speciality and FACOG means they belong to an organization relating to ob/gyn.

FACOG stands for Fellow, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
They generally have to have performed a certain number of cases/procedures and send a years worth of information into the society to obtain membership.
It stands for Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. :) Nothing differs, it's just that the doctor, with this "title" is a member of the fellowship.
