18. Virginia
Annual median wage: $216,030
Cost of living: 100.2
Employment: 990
Only 76 hospitals in Virginia, the next one in our list of best states for obstetricians and gynecologists, and they score really high on the employment rates for obstetricians and gynecologists. It could be simply because they have more medical professionals working in their own clinics rather than in big hospitals. They welcome professionals by paying them high salaries. Okay, so it does not reach the national average. However, the cost of living expenses they have would not hurt your budget as much as other states would. That still makes this state among the best ones to be a doctor.
