Description:

This completed study characterized the distribution and supply of male and female obstetricians and gynecologists (ob-gyns) in Washington State, as well as the services they provide. This study used a cross-sectional analysis of 1998-1999 state licensing data linked with supplemental survey data. Findings show a significant shortage of ob-gyns, especially female ob-gyns, in rural areas. Funded by HRSA, National Center for Health Workforce Analysis.
