Doctors are fleeing red states.

New doctors continue to avoid residencies in states with abortion bans

For the second consecutive year, disproportionately fewer new doctors across all specialties applied to medical residency programs in states with abortion bans and restrictions, per a new analysis released Thursday.

The big picture: In the two years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, state-level restrictions are changing the way some medical residents receive training related to abortions and emergency pregnancy care.

The numbers of both OB-GYN and emergency medicine applicants in 2024 were lower in states with complete abortion bans than in those without, according to an analysis from the Association of American Medical Colleges.
