OBGYN Growing Demand This Year

The job outlook for physicians in general is very good. The number of positions is expected to grow faster than average between now and 2014. A recent report shows that many medical students are choosing not to specialize in gynecology due to the high rate of malpractice. The many lawsuits have caused malpractice insurance premiums to sky rocket, causing many OB/GYN to leave the practice. This had led to fewer health care options for women in many states and fewer gynecologists. In turn, the average salary for practicing gynecologists is expected to raise considerably and the job outlook is expected to be on the rise.
