How to read the wage estimate
Annualized wages: BLS multiplies hourly wage rates by 2,080. These are not observed yearly earnings or total compensation.
The mean is the average and the median is the midpoint. Their ordering does not establish the cause of a difference; do not treat the pair as a salary range.
Employee wages, not all physician income or guaranteed base. Employment estimate: 190.

National compensation
Doximity: U.S. Obstetrics & Gynecology
Doximity 2026 report2026 report · 2025 national compensation. Not state wages.
Who was surveyed
National full-time U.S. physician compensation from 2025 responses. The report population and compensation basis differ from BLS covered employee wages.
Medscape: U.S. Ob/Gyn
Medscape 2026 report2026 report · 2025 national compensation. Not state wages.
Who was surveyed
National full-time U.S. physician compensation reported for 2025, including salary and incentive income. Its population and compensation basis differ from Doximity and BLS employee wages.
AMGA: U.S. General OB/GYN
AMGA 2026 survey table · page 3General OB/GYN · 2026 survey, 2025 compensation data. Median, not mean; not state wages.
Who was surveyed
AMGA’s participating medical groups report physician compensation. This General OB/GYN median uses a different population and compensation basis from BLS employee wages and the other national surveys.
National obstetrics and gynecology compensation and BLS state employee wages use separate populations and pay definitions. Doximity and Medscape report means; AMGA reports a median. Do not blend these three national surveys with state wages or call the figures a salary range.
Why the sources differ
Doximity, Medscape and AMGA use distinct national survey populations and compensation bases. AMGA reports a median, not a mean. Keep each as a separate reference; do not average them together.
The 2026 reports describe 2025 compensation, not this state’s average wage. Their populations and compensation definitions differ from BLS state employee wages, so the figures are separate context, not directly comparable endpoints of a salary range.
Licensing and first-shift checks in Delaware
Delaware's Division of Professional Regulation says its DELPROS online portal makes processing efficient, but the time it takes depends on how quickly the application and all supporting documents are submitted and considered complete. It says a complete application is reviewed for approval on or before the next Board meeting, and the meeting schedule is on the state public meeting calendar. For a Delaware offer, assign an owner to each supporting document, check the meeting calendar, confirm the license is issued, and confirm facility privileges and onboarding separately. A pending application is not a confirmed first-shift date.

Build an obstetrics and gynecology offer checklist
Use the actual job description to check the work that sits behind the pay number. These are questions for the hiring team, not claims about available Saile jobs.
- Define the mix of obstetrics, gynecology and surgery, including deliveries, cesareans, office hours and any gynecologic procedures. A broad occupation row does not price each service.
- Ask how call and labor and delivery coverage work: who is in house, backup arrangements, expected nights and weekends, and how call is paid. Check paid clinical and administrative hours and how any production formula is calculated.
- Confirm the facility privileges and credentials the role requires, the malpractice policy type and tail terms, and who pays for them. Check the base guarantee, incentives and repayment terms separately.
