Stories for the Waiting Room
Perhaps not surprisingly, new and recent research indicates that in states where abortion is severely restricted, there is a decline in aspiring OB-GYN physicians. The number of overall applications to OB-GYN programs remained stable between 2022 and 2023, but states with abortion bans received fewer applications than those without them.
In 2023, about 82% of prospective OB-GYNs applied in programs with abortion bans, compared with 86% in 2022 and 88% in 2021. Almost 100% also applied to programs in states that protect abortion. Researchers say that if the trend continues, it may forecast potential OB-GYN shortages in some places in the future.
