This web blog is intended for students pursuing a career as an obstetrician and/or gynecologist. If you are considering becoming an OB/GYN, this blog will inform you about medical school and what a life of an OB/GYN is like. I am a pre-med student myself; my mother and aunt have discovered fibroids in each of their uteruses and this is why I am interested in becoming an OB/GYN. If you are interested, please don't hesitate to read my blog!

The Work Environment
Hospitals are where most OB/GYNs are found, but they can branch off into different sections. Teaching hospitals is a section that an OB/GYN can go into, as well as family planning. It depends on the kind of environment you are willing to work in. This webpage gives a brief description of the different work environments that OB/GYNs may be placed in. An OB/GYN may work extensive hours, usually 60 hours or more a week, due to the high birthing rate. Labors are unpredictable so expect your hours to be unknown as well.
