For many U.S. medical students and residents seeking abortion training, options are scant and under threat
Browse any medical dictionary, and before hitting appendectomy and anesthesia, you’ll find abortion.
Abortion training is not offered at Oklahoma’s two medical schools and education on the topic is limited.

The 27-year-old is the daughter of “pro-feminist” parents and the mother of two young girls whose right to reproductive choice she wants to protect.
In 2020, Stanford University researchers said they found that half of medical schools included no formal abortion training or only a single lecture. Divya Jain’s introduction to abortion came not at her Missouri medical school — where she said the procedure is rarely discussed — but at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Kansas. She was a clinic volunteer and saw the hurdles out-of-state women faced in obtaining the procedure. Some mistakenly ended up at a crisis pregnancy center across the street that tried to change their minds, Jain said.
