Today I had time to debrief with a patient after their first speculum exam and honestly I hope I can do that every time

T3: Protect yourself emotionally and legally. Some states are working hard to take away both mental peace and licenses from providers #AskAboutAbortion

A1 cont: Abortion bans and #abortion stigma in my state meant I had to take out a personal loan in order to get basic training in abortion care. It took my 6 years to pay off that one month in SF. #AskAboutAbortion

A1 cont: I knew I wanted to be an #abortion provider, so I sought out a SubI at @UCSF during my 4th year to get training before residency. I small grant from @MSFC, but I had to take out a personal loan to be able to afford to live in SF for a year. #AskAboutAbortion

A1 cont: At the time, we struggled to find the faculty mentor required for the club and I received several threats from fellow classmates. Thankfully, the campus now has several reproductive rights champions.

A1: As someone who trained in #Texas and trains in Texas, #abortion policies have *always* impacted medical education here. As a medical student, we did not receive any abobo training at @UNTHSC - I founded a @MSFC chapter to change that

T3: Ask the legal team at your hospital what is and isn’t allowed. Some of the laws are more nebulous than they seem via headlines #AskAboutAbortion

[Astha Mittal, MD MPH @spec_squad]

T3: identify nearest referral centers for your patients and yourself as trainees #AskAboutAbortion

[Astha Mittal, MD MPH @spec_squad]

T3: Find colleagues across the country with different training and gauge if their institution allows visitors to come learn abortions #AskAboutAbortion

[Maria Rodriguez @Mirodriguez731]

I interviewed for #obgyntwitter residency in 2004 and asked about learning about abortion training at every site. Despite being an ACGME requirement, so many sites don’t train or “it’s an elective”. Demand better in 2022 applicants! #AskAboutAbortion

@coronassun @EmmaCHale1 Hi Leo! You’ll get some sense for the procedure but the clinical decision making of abortions and later gestational abortions would be missed out on #AskAboutAbortion
