Editor’s Note: Among the immediate impacts of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision on the American health care landscape are profound challenges for the educational and training ecosystem for physicians, particularly those entering obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN). In a new white paper, summarized below, Manatt Health organizes the known consequences and open questions stemming from Dobbs and the resulting states’ actions to severely restrict or ban abortion. The paper addresses the impact of Dobbs on the pipeline of physicians specializing in OB/GYN in the United States and, in particular, the effects on medical schools and on accredited OB/GYN residency programs.1 To download a free copy of the full white paper, click here.
