what is an obgyn?!
Question:
Answers:
Obstetrics and gynecology (often abbreviated OB/GYN in the U.S. and O&G elsewhere) form a single medical specialty and have a combined postgraduate training program. This is quite arduous: in Australia, for example, it is among the longest, six years, matched only by neurosurgery. Some generalists can work as obstetricians, mainly in rural areas. All gynaecologists, therefore, are trained obstetricians, and vice versa. However, some doctors drop their obstetric practice, especially as they get older. This is often due to the double burden of very late hours and, depending on the country, high rates of litigation.
In the last few years, medical malpractice suits and skyrocketing insurance premiums have forced many American obstetricians and gynecologists to leave or limit their practice. Medical students are increasingly choosing not to specialize in obstetrics. This all adds up to fewer obstetricians in some states and fewer health care options for women, though it has led to higher average salaries, as an article by Medical Economics points out.
