Gynecologists Seek Training Out of State After Roe.

OB-GYN residents in states with restrictive abortion laws are finding it difficult to receive the necessary training to become competent physicians. To meet program requirements, some residents are traveling out of state to receive abortion training. Oregon Health and Sciences University is accepting OB-GYN residents from restrictive states for a month-long rotation in abortion procedures and surgeries, along with patient counseling. The Ryan Residency Training Program is partnering with 15 of its programs in supportive states to host and train OB-GYN residents from states in which abortion is restricted. Abortion bans are also affecting the number of persons entering the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
