Obstetrics and Gynecology Physician Salary in Maryland (2026)
A Obstetrics and Gynecology physician practicing in Maryland can expect a base salary inside the national Obstetrics and Gynecology band of $305K to $440K, with the median tracking close to $345K. The Maryland variation on that number is driven mostly by anchor-employer comp structure in Baltimore, Bethesda, Rockville, Frederick, Annapolis and by shortage-area incentive stacking outside those metros — not by Maryland cost-of-living alone.

Where Obstetrics and Gynecology offers land highest in Maryland
Maryland is anchored by Johns Hopkins Medicine, University of Maryland Medical System, MedStar Health, LifeBridge Health, and Adventist HealthCare. For Obstetrics and Gynecology, the highest-comp Maryland opportunities I see are typically not in the urban core of Baltimore — they sit in rural and HPSA-designated counties where the same Obstetrics and Gynecology role carries a 10-25% base premium plus signing bonuses of $30K-$100K and loan repayment of $50K-$200K layered on top of base. That stacking can push an Maryland Obstetrics and Gynecology offer comfortably above the $440K national ceiling in year-one total cash.
Maryland incentive programs that boost Obstetrics and Gynecology take-home
The Maryland Loan Assistance Repayment Program supports primary care, behavioral health, and dental providers in HPSA sites. The J. Eugene Reaves Loan Assistance Repayment Program targets physicians serving Maryland's underserved areas. The Maryland Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver program is consistently filled. NHSC loan repayment is widely used across Eastern Shore and western Maryland FQHCs and at Baltimore underserved-area sites. For Obstetrics and Gynecology specifically, these federal and state programs frequently add the equivalent of $30K-$60K per year of pre-tax value over the first three years of service.
How I benchmark a Obstetrics and Gynecology offer in Maryland
When a Obstetrics and Gynecology candidate sends me an Maryland offer, I check three things in order: (1) where the base lands inside the $305K–$440K band relative to MGMA regional percentiles, (2) the wRVU conversion factor and ramp/threshold structure, and (3) the call burden and stipend. Maryland's licensing pace also matters for ramp timing: The Maryland Board of Physicians licenses with a typical timeline of 60-120 days for US-trained physicians.
