Many physicians and surgeons work long, irregular hours. Over one-third of full-time physicians and surgeons worked 60 hours or more a week in 2006. Only 8 percent of all physicians and surgeons worked part-time, compared with 15 percent for all occupations. Physicians and surgeons must travel frequently between office and hospital to care for their patients. While on call, a physician will deal with many patients' concerns over the phone and make emergency visits to hospitals or nursing homes.

How many hours should an Obstetricians and Gynecologist spend on the job a week?

Obstetricians and gynecologists typically work between 40 to 60 hours a week, though this can vary depending on their practice setting, patient load, and on-call responsibilities. Those in private practice may have more irregular hours due to the demands of managing their own clinic and responding to emergencies. Additionally, those who perform surgeries or deliver babies may experience fluctuations in their schedules, leading to longer hours during peak times. Ultimately, the workload can be quite variable.
