With a projected national shortage of up to 22,000 women’s health medical specialists within the next 30 years, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the demand for locum tenens women’s health MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, and CRNAs for complete women’s healthcare is rising, and locum tenens professionals are stepping in to provide much-needed coverage for locum women’s health jobs across the nation. 

In fact, while the size of the global women’s health market was valued at 40.29 billion in 2022, it is projected to reach a value of 58.24 billion by 2030, with a CAGR growth rate of 4.8% in the forecasted period, and with the highest growth rate in North America, accounting for over 41% of global revenue in the women’s health market in 2021, according to Grand View Research.

This growth is a result of an increase in the geriatric women population as well as introductions of new products for women’s health. Moreover, new government policies to increase awareness of and improve women’s health are projected to add to growth in the women’s health market through 2030.

According to the Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), as the demand for women’s health specialists continuously increases, the locum tenens market is growing exponentially at the rapid annual rate of 27%, opening up an abundance of opportunities for women’s health locums to earn the most attractive salaries within their specialties as they travel to fill gaps across the nation.
