You teach gynecology to medical students, residents, or fellows — covering reproductive health, surgical practice, and the clinical reasoning specific to women's health. Half academic faculty, half practicing or recently practicing gynecologist.
Gynecology Teacher pay typically runs $74K–$176K at this level, and jobs in this field are projected to grow 17% through 2034.
Most days tend to involve a blend of classroom teaching, clinical supervision, and continued clinical practice — leading didactic sessions, supervising learners in clinics or operating rooms, and seeing your own patients. You'll often spend part of the time on scholarly or service work that academic appointments expect.
The harder part is often balancing the multiple demands of teaching, clinical care, surgical work, and scholarship simultaneously. You'll typically work with learners at varying levels of readiness in a specialty where both procedural skill and patient-centered communication matter heavily.
People who tend to thrive here are clinically expert, patient teachers, and comfortable with the long arc of training in a procedural specialty. The trade-off is the salary differential with private gynecology practice and the cumulative work of academic responsibilities. If you find satisfaction in shaping the next generation of gynecologists, the work can carry meaning that pure clinical practice doesn't.
