Roles of Obstetrician-Gynecologist Hospitalists with Changes in the Obstetrician-Gynecologist Workforce and Practice

“…Among OB-GYNs surveyed between 1990 and 2002, women worked fewer hours per week, saw fewer patients per week, took call-duty less frequently, and were less likely to work more than 60 hours per week. [3][4][5][6] Not surprisingly, this reduction in work hours correlates with a reduction in Tessmer-Tuck & Rayburn professional productivity. Compared with their male counterparts, female OB-GYNs attend fewer births and perform fewer gynecologic surgeries.…”

“…Compared with their male counterparts, female OB-GYNs attend fewer births and perform fewer gynecologic surgeries. 3,6 These gaps in work hours and productivity are more pronounced between male and female OB-GYNs younger than 40. 6 More contemporary data corroborate these earlier findings.…”

“…3,10 This may be influenced by partner work status. Although close to 90% of female physician spouses worked full-time, fewer than 45% of male physician spouses worked full-time.…”
