Babies, babies and more babies! While bringing new life into the world is one important aspect of what an OB/GYN does every day, it’s safe to say, they do so much more! 

OB/GYNs provide obstetrics, gynecology and preventive and reproductive healthcare services to women of all ages. This can include everything from diagnosis and treatment of reproductive health issues and management of pregnancy to postpartum care and menopause. While it can be a rewarding career, it can also be demanding! A recent study showed OB/GYN burnout rates range between 40 percent to 75 percent – with women reporting more burnout than men, and those percentages increasing after COVID. 

And that’s where locum tenens OB/GYNs come in. When physicians need a break, it’s good to know there are seasoned, skilled and professional OB/GYNs ready to step in and provide high quality healthcare for patients no matter the setting. (There are also times when OB/GYNs take a break from their “9 to 5” role to take on a locum assignment as a way to reignite their passion for healthcare or just shake up their routine.) 

Continuity of Care

But what about continuity of care – something that’s so important in women’s health? 

It’s true that when OB/GYNs take care of individual women, they are, effectively, caring for communities. The work done by OB/GYNs today, quite literally, affects future generations!  

Locum tenens OB/GYNs fill a void in clinics, hospitals and private practices as communities all over the country work to manage physician shortages and staffing challenges while still offering high quality healthcare and better patient outcomes. Their work has a direct impact when it comes to: 

• Access to care

• Reduction in wait times

• Compassion and emotional support

• Patient education and empowerment

Why Locum Tenens?

No matter the setting, OB/GYNs are making a difference! And, they are being well paid to do so.
