Salt Lake Tribune political coverage for Utah.
University of Utah researchers found that OB-GYN residents who previously intended to work in states that implemented abortion bans following the Dobbs decision were more likely to change their plans.
Of the more than 300 OB-GYN residents who responded to a survey constructed by complex family planning fellow Alex Woodcock, nearly one in five said they had altered their intended practice state following the Dobbs decision, and those who initially planned to practice in states that restricted abortion were eight times as likely to have decided to work somewhere else.
Alex Woodcock, an OB-GYN fellow at the University of Utah, poses for a portrait on Monday Sept. 25, 2023. Woodcock is publishing a paper in an academic journal on future plans of the most recent graduating class of OB-GYN residents nationally after the Dobbs decision.— has already had to work harder to recruit, Woodcock said. And if the trigger law were to go into effect, Utah could hemorrhage reproductive medical workers, upending women’s health care in the state.
Doctors in the OB-GYN field care for parents and fetuses during pregnancy and through delivery, offer guidance in creating birth control plans, and treat a variety of health conditions related to menstruation and women’s reproductive organs.As part of an optional open-ended question, Woodcock asked OB-GYN residents: Please describe how the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision impacted your professional plans.
