Obstetrics and Gynecology Physician Jobs

Obstetricians and Gynecologists care for female patients, providing a wide range of medical and surgical care. Specializing in the female reproductive organs, these physicians assist women all through out their pregnancy and childbirth, as well as tending to other disorders of the reproductive system. A shortage of OBGYN physicians causes these doctors to be in high demend!

OBGYN physicians are usually located in special facilities geared towards women and babies. Although, OBGYNs can be found in outpatient centers as well as general hospitals. The typical work day varies constantly. Like many physicians, obstetricians and gynecologists must meet the needs of their patients, which at times means working long hours, weekends and/or "call" shifts. Although depending on where a physician is practicing, they may have more regular shifts and hours. Either way, most physicians in this specialty find themselves working upward of 50 hours per week, unless they opt to be part time. Although, most feel this is rewarding due to their line of work.

OBGYN physician jobs typically pay between $250,000 and $300,000 per year, although it depends on the time of facility and where it is located geographically. Due to a national shortage of qualified OBGYN physicians, most employers offer extremely competitive wages and benefits. Obstetricians and Gynecologists have an expected job growth of about 25 percent within the next decade.
