Obstetrician-gynecologists are seeing more pregnant patients with dangerous medical complications two-plus years after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, while at the same time receiving less training as residents about how to perform abortions, according to a new report. The findings, shared exclusively with NBC News, are the result of a monthslong investigation by Democrats on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Some programs pay for residents to get such training out-of-state, but that often requires additional medical licenses and liability insurance and means residents must spend multiple weeks away from home. In states that restrict abortion, some OB-GYN residents have to rely on textbooks in lieu of observing an abortion firsthand or simulate the procedure using a piece of fruit. “You can tell who has done it and who has learned it from a book,” one residency director said in the report.
