What drives Obstetrics and Gynecology compensation up or down

Standard hospital-employed OB/GYN base in metro markets runs $340K-$380K with productivity overlay. Rural OB roles, particularly those that involve solo-call coverage, have climbed past $475K and now routinely include physician housing or a stipend, malpractice-tail coverage, and significant student-loan repayment. The biggest comp lever in any OB offer is call-frequency language — the difference between Q3 and Q5 call is worth $50K+ a year and is the first clause I optimize on every offer I close.

OB/GYN combines surgical and continuity care with on-call obligations. Maternity-care deserts in rural counties have created acute recruitment demand outside major metros.

How recruiters benchmark a Obstetrics and Gynecology offer

When I scope a Obstetrics and Gynecology engagement, I pull MGMA and AMGA percentiles for the region, layer in the specific employer's historical comp band, and pressure-test against active Obstetrics and Gynecology candidates we are already working. The $305K–$440K range above is the national reference; the actual offer for a given Obstetrics and Gynecology role is built bottom-up from RVU model assumptions, call rotation, and ramp expectations. For Obstetrics and Gynecology candidates evaluating an offer, the three numbers I tell people to focus on are base, wRVU conversion factor, and call-coverage stipend — not the headline salary alone.
