Here’s a great article on the lack of information on abortions and abortion care being taught at medical schools.
Abortion is another of the most common surgical procedures that women undergo, but the story is far different. Statistics indicate that approximately 33% of women will have an abortion during their lives, but medical education on abortion care is spotty at best. First and second year med students rarely receive any education at all about abortion. Third and fourth year students hardly ever see abortions performed during their clinical rotations and surgical simulations in the classroom are nearly unheard of. And medical residents spend all their time at hospitals, while nearly all abortions are performed in private clinics, not hospitals.
