A member asked:
If you're an obstetrician, do you have to be a gynecologist too?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: An obstetrician is trained to be an obstetrician and gyencologist. You do have to do some gynecology to do obstetrics but you can limit your practice to mostly obstetrics.

Yes: The two go together in training. After training the doctor can choose to practice both or either field of specialty.
