Although there has been discussion of a shortage of surgical specialties including OB/GYN, consensus is difficult because of the multiple variables involved in estimating both supply and demand. In addition, burnout has become more recognized as a variable that has not been taken into account in estimating a shortage of OB/GYNs. We estimate OB/GYN physician shortages of 17%, 24%, and 31% by 2030, 2040, and 2050, respectively. Here, we examine the impact of burnout on the OB/GYN workforce. Specifically, we address the associations of burnout, reduction in clinical productivity as well as early retirement. We also discuss the implications of the substantial increase of female OB/GYNs to ∼66% of workforce over the next 10 years and how this may impact the impending OB/GYN shortage. Finally, we briefly consider possible solutions to workforce issues causing burnout. |
