9. Obstetrics and Gynecology
Score: 19
Ob/Gyn and Women’s Health practitioners obviously don’t get enough credit since they have found their spot on our list of least competitive specialties. Their respective annual salaries which average $315,295 nationwide are also something that could improve. Still, both Step 1 and 2 scores of 226 and 242 are below national average, and so is their mean of 234, consequently. Add to that 1.24 open positions for every US applicant, and you’ll see why Ob/Gyn isn’t the most sought after practice among US med school graduates.
