Top 10 Places for an OBGYN to LiveCrystal Carter

Are you looking to either start or advance your career in the field as an OB/GYN but aren’t sure where you should be practicing? We’ve put together a list of the top 10 states for OB/GYNs to practice medicine. The list includes average salary per state, the differences between the national and state salaries, and the concentration, or location quotient, of that industry per state. We have also included a breakdown of degrees held by OB/GYNs.

Note: The concentration of each specialty is calculated by dividing the local concentration of the industry by the national concentration of the industry. If the location quotient is greater than 1, the industry makes up a larger share of that state’s employment than it does for the entire United States.
