Abstract
Federal abortion protection reversals have increased the importance of understanding and addressing regional disparities in clinical abortion training. We surveyed Medical Students for Choice leaders in July 2022 about abortion training and analyzed results by state abortion laws. Of 100 survey respondents, 50 % reported institutional access to abortion training (17.5 % in restrictive states; 71.2 % in permissive states; χ2 = 25.9, p < 0.00001) and 46 % indicated that they or a peer had attended a visiting student elective (VSE) covering abortion care (47.5 % in restricted states; 51.9 % in permissive states). Availability of clinical abortion training varies geographically by state abortion laws. VSEs may be underutilized.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
