Why OB/GYN is hard to recruit

Maternity-care deserts have created acute recruitment demand in rural counties across the South and Midwest, while malpractice premiums shape every offer. That is why OB/GYN searches behave differently than primary-care searches: candidate universe is smaller, time-to-fill is longer, and compensation modeling is more sensitive to setting, productivity, and call structure. Current OB/GYN base ranges I see in active offers land between $305K and $440K (median $345K). The two biggest variance levers above base are productivity (wRVU or collections) and geographic shortage premium.

What we look for in OB/GYN candidates

Board certification is the floor, not the ceiling. For OB/GYN we screen for the specific subspecialty exposure your role requires (MFM, REI, Gyn Onc, FPMRS, Minimally Invasive Gyn Surgery, Laborist/OB Hospitalist), procedural and case volume aligned with your case mix, call-burden fit, geographic and family situation that makes a 5+ year tenure realistic, and a written compensation expectation that matches your offer band before any introduction. We never present a OB/GYN candidate without a documented reason-for-move narrative.

OB/GYN salary ranges & demand outlook

Current US median base for OB/GYN is $345K, with typical offers landing inside $305K–$440K (25th–90th percentile). National demand signal is high. Productivity (wRVU/collections), call burden, and geographic shortage premium are the three biggest variance levers above base. Rural and HPSA-designated counties typically command 15–25% comp premiums above MGMA median once signing bonuses, NHSC loan repayment, and rural stipends are stacked. State-by-state numbers live on our OB/GYN salary page.

Geographic concentration for OB/GYN hiring

Active OB/GYN hiring is concentrated in all metros and growing rural maternity-care deserts in the South and Midwest. Rural and critical-access markets typically pay shortage premiums for OB/GYN coverage and frequently qualify for J-1 waivers via Conrad State 30 programs and NHSC loan repayment at HPSA-designated sites.

How long does a OB/GYN search take?

Most OB/GYN permanent searches produce a written qualified shortlist within 30–60 days of kickoff and reach signed acceptance in 90–150 days. Rural and subspecialty searches can extend to 150–270 days.

What does a OB/GYN placement cost?

Permanent OB/GYN placement fees are quoted in writing during scoping — typically a percentage of first-year base compensation, due only on signed acceptance. No upfront fee for contingency engagements.
