Abortion Volume Reported by Graduating Residents in Obstetrics and Gynecology Training Programs

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to evaluate national trends in procedural abortion training among U.S. OB/GYN residents over the past 15 years in light of increasing legislative restrictions on abortion access. Their analysis reveals a significant decline in the mean number of abortions performed per graduating resident, despite an increase in the number of residents and residency programs, indicating a potential gap in clinical training. The findings emphasize the need for innovative educational strategies to ensure future OB/GYNs are adequately trained in reproductive healthcare.
