from Section II - Integration of Abortion into Graduate Medical Education
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2021
After abortion became legal in the United States, many states passed physician-only abortion laws which precluded from providing this service. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that nurse practitioners (NPs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs) and physician assistants (PAs) are safe and effective abortion providers and that patients are satisfied with their care. In recent years, several more states have enacted legislation and Attorney Generals have issued opinions allowing NPs, CNMs and PAs to provide abortion. Nevertheless, currently they are not able to provide aspiration or medication abortion in most states. Advocates are working to remove obstacles to full practice authority and the provision of abortion by NPs, CNMs, and PAs at the state and national levels. For those interested in providing abortion, obtaining education and training can also be difficult. Educational resources and other learning opportunities have been created, and new ones are emerging.
