Program components included introduction to the department chair, discussions with fellowship and diversity, equity, and inclusion leaders, breakouts with current fellows, and conversations with mentor-mentee teams.

However, the degree to which it impacts residency location preferences is unknown. <b>Objective</b> To explore how background characteristics and psychological priming for abortion access influence medical students' residency location preferences. <b>Methods</b> From October to December 2023, US medical students at all training levels completed an online survey with (primed) or without (control) information emphasizing abortion access. The survey was distributed to 14 schools and via the social media platform X. Likelihood of applying to residency in 10 selected states (representing 4 abortion legality categories) was compared between primed and control groups and based on background characteristics using bivariate analysis and linear regression. <b>Results</b> The study was completed by 282 students.
