Medical training programs at UCSF and Stanford have launched a deliberate and concerted counteroffensive to out-of-state abortion restrictions,
For decades, abortion education has been mandatory in the training of ob-gyn doctors.With abortion access vanishing in almost half of the country, Bay Area medical-training programs have launched a deliberate and concerted counteroffensive, hosting and helping future doctors from states where access is restricted.
Abortion doesn’t go away when it becomes illegal, advocates say — it just becomes less safe. For women seeking to understand their options, the U.S. needs clinicians in every state who are trained and ready, said Dr. Jody Steinauer, director of the UCSF Bixby Center for Reproductive Health and the Ryan Residency Training Program, a national project that finds educational slots for ob-gyn residents from restrictive states.
But nearly 20% of the nation’s 286 accredited ob-gyn programs operate in states with revived or new abortion bans; another 28% of programs are in states with major restrictions. And that puts medical schools and residency programs in a quandary: While states are criminalizing abortions, medical education and accreditation groups consider it an important skill.
But these cases are so rare that students may not encounter them. And they won’t know how to handle any complications, said Hunt. An anonymous donor in the San Francisco Bay Area has donated funds to support the program’s training of about 50 Texas resident physicians.
