FILE – Medical diagrams are posted in a hallway of one of the wings of a hospital in Mississippi on Feb. 29, 2024. An analysis released Thursday, May 9, 2024, by the Association of American Medical Colleges found that fewer U.S. medical school graduates are applying to residency programs, but the drop is more striking in states that ban abortion compared with other states.
The number of applicants to these post-graduate training programs dropped slightly across the board from spring of 2023 to spring of 2024, with larger decreases seen in states with abortion bans. Those states saw a drop of 4.2% from the previous application cycle, compared with 0.6 % in states where abortion is legal.
