Tennessee universities aren't disclosing how they'll keep their programs in the good graces of accreditation systems amid the state's new abortion laws.
Current and future medical professionals are raising the red flag about the ripple effects the Supreme Court's abortion ruling will have on medical students' training. But Tennessee universities aren't disclosing how they'll navigate the new laws and keep their programs in the good graces of accreditation systems., and soon, a near-total abortion ban will go into effect.
Because of the bans, obstetrics and gynecology residents in Tennessee will have fewer opportunities to learn abortion-related procedures as abortion providers suspend their services. “I would now think that would have to extend their residents out to other states and hope that those states can accommodate them," Looney said.
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center "did not have a response" to potential changes to its OB-GYN residency programs across the state, according to a spokesperson. Given almost half of the nation's OB-GYN residents will lack substantial access to abortion training because of bans, there could be fewer and fewer trained abortion providers to meet demand.
