Below is an excerpt from a recent study conducted by Manatt Health to analyze the Texas OB/GYN physician workforce and the impact of the state’s abortion laws on the workforce development pipeline. Click here to read the full report.

Taken together, these findings reveal an OB/GYN physician workforce in Texas under considerable stress and suggest more work is needed to understand and track how the OB/GYN physician workforce in Texas is changing as a result of these laws, and, most importantly, to protect and support as best as possible the physicians, resident physicians, and their teams that are continuing to provide the full complement of OB/GYN services in the state.
