The doctor can take a vacation when the time is right for them because they are working for themselves. A new OB/GYN may work for another more experienced doctor who owns their own practice after they are done with school. However, after that period of time, obstetrician gynecologists can work on their own schedule.
This benefit of working on one"s own schedule is matched by the great pay for the hours worked and the convenience of choosing a schedule designed to meet one"s own needs. Most doctors do not work 7 days a week, or even 6. Some doctors work 3 1/2 or 4 days a week in their practice to make a salary of $200,000. There are also different types of gynecology which one can be certified to work in. If an OB GYN is certified in more than one area, there is an opportunity for that obstetrician gynecologist to make a higher annual salary because they are working in more than one field. This is why the ability to choose one"s own schedule is such a great benefit. An OB GYN who is certified in more than one area can work 3 1/2 or 4 days in one field and spend 1 or 2 days working at a different practice where they are certified which provides an opportunity for that doctor to make more money as well.

When considering salary, it is also dependent upon experience. More experienced doctors in any field make a higher annual salary than doctors who are just starting out or who have less experience in the field. As an obstetrician gynecologist works more and gains experience and certifications in other areas, the annual salary of that OB GYN will increase considerably with the procedures they can preform and the amount of different patients they can see.
