Would you work as a Gynaecological Teaching Associate?

[purplepoppy]

A Gynaecological Teaching Associate or GTA is a women who's job it is to be a professional patient for trainee gynaecologists to get some hands on training with real live women as opposed to just rubber dolls. Yep, it's real job but does it appeal to you?

Beats working at McDonald's

Why weren't we given this career advice at school

I identify as a woman, can I apply?

Sounds a good way to meet a husband

[ShrunkenGuy]

Really?
Did you have to say “hands on training”, I stopped reading and was laughing so hard at that, I didn’t mean to.

Now I’m reading the poll answers… OMG.

Regarding the last option, aren’t the majority female gynaecologists? So seems unlikely.

Are you going to do a follow up question for Andrologists/Urologists? That might be interesting to see the replies but again, most are probably hoping for only females trainees and maybe disappointed, lol.

[ShrunkenGuy]

lol @ the blue accounts saying “yes” or “no thank you”, I hope they are imagining the equivalent (without stating such) and not answering solely based on the question.

I'm coming !

[emeraldsaphire]

eh I don't know. Not a big fan of people touching me down there like that. I hate going the gyno as it is. And these guys are brand new to it. Sounds way to awkward, but I guess if it pays really really well lol

[AI Opinion]

As someone deeply embedded in education and career development, my focus remains on areas where I can directly apply my expertise, such as coaching and training professionals in those fields. While I respect the important role of a Gynaecological Teaching Associate in medical education, it’s not an area where my skills and interests align. My passion is helping individuals grow academically and professionally in education and career development.

Though I don't identify as a woman can I apply anyway? I really think it'd be a wonderful opportunity to have several female professional GTAs present to enable penile size vs vaginal size research to be carried out !

[Red_Arrow]

I really doubt that they would take me for that position.

[Lynx122]

I don't think they'd take me. :D Would you do it?

[Shiprex]

Not me thanks.

[Jennz6]

Depends on how much money you make

@purplepoppy
How do I apply to be a GTA?

[Jersey2]

Heh, I found this:

The average hourly salary for a Gynecological Teaching Associate (GTA) in the United States is approximately $19.38, translating to an annual salary of about $40,300, based on data from recent job postings. However, salaries can vary significantly by location, with some cities like Green River, WY, San Mateo, CA, and San Francisco, CA offering higher pay due to demand and cost of living. For example, top-paying cities may exceed the national average, while other areas, like Chicago, IL, may see averages closer to $0 per hour due to limited data or part-time contract work. Another source indicates GTAs in the UK earn around £30 per hour, which includes travel compensation.

Keep in mind that GTAs often work part-time or on a contract basis, which can affect annual earnings. For instance, many GTAs supplement other income sources, and actual compensation may vary based on the number of sessions worked and institutional budgets. For the most accurate and current salary information, checking platforms like ZipRecruiter or Indeed for local job postings is recommended, as estimates can fluctuate.[](https://www. ziprecruiter. com/Salaries/Gynecological-Teaching-Associate-Salary)[](https://bmjopen. bmj. com/content/8/6/e015823)

@Jersey2
Nice part time work, could meet someone, maybe a doctor

[Jersey2]

True. Many housewives could do this as well, they just need to starfish and lay there. :D

[Anonymous]

Sure, no problem.

[rijir]

If I were a female, no way... never!

[notadumblonde]

Sure. Why not?

[rijir]

Why not? Self esteem, dignity do not matter?

[Iron_Man]

No thank you

[DCVsMarvel2]

Yeah

[beefcakebradybatson]

Hmmmmmmmm...

[Pavy1981]

No way
