I am on my last week of OBGYN, and I have loved it!! But I can clearly see why someone would not want to go into it. The personality issues at my school have been minor at worst, with a few cat fights among the 99% female residents, but I found that funny as hell. In fact, I have decided that I am going to go into OBGYN, especially since the pendulum is at about as far extreme as possible right now. I am male, with pretty damn good scores 232/92, so I am going to use this opportunity to get into a top program that is not one of the more malignant ones....where they have a strong night float system and a great call schedule (Yes these places exist...BaylorCOM, Loyola. etc...). The mix of surgery, clinic, OB, and 2AM stat ruptured tubals gives more diversity than any other field of medicine. Continuity of care long term is also a cool deal in this specialty. And honestly, I think it will be rather fun to be one of the only males among women residents, because everyone knows that the lone male always plays the good guy among the constant cat fights. Let them hate each other as I smile and never take sides!! Plus, the male attendings love a male OBGYN resident because they get sick of working with only women. And lastly, how can you argue with the pay? Average nationwide is about 250K, which for one extra year nearly doubles the average FP salary. I am sorry you guys had such a crappy experience on your rotation, but I can promise you that I will be one of those OBGYN residents that teaches, gets the students involved and helps nurture any desire they might have to do OBGYN.
