“…A 2023 study found institutions with state or institutional abortion restrictions are less likely to follow evidence-based treatment for EPL, offer the full range of EPL treatment options, and take patient preferences for EPL management into account. 16 Consistent with the recognized phenomenon of educational imprinting, 17 in which physicians are more likely to provide services for which they were trained, residents who receive abortion training are more likely after residency to provide abortion care as well as EPL care, pregnancy options counseling, and long-acting reversible contraceptives. 18 Family medicine residency programs in states where abortion remains legal can prepare physicians to provide comprehensive reproductive health care by expanding abortion training opportunities.…”

In June 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, opening the door to state-level abortion bans. By August 2023, 17 states banned abortion or instituted early gestational age bans. We performed an analysis to assess the proportion of accredited US family medicine residency programs and trainees in states with abortion restrictions. Twenty-nine percent of family medicine residency programs (n = 201) and residents (n = 3,930) are in states with bans or very restrictive policies. Family medicine residency programs must optimize training and exposure to abortion within their contexts, so graduates are able to care for patients seeking abortions or needing follow-up care.
