Putting Women’s Health on the Ballot: The Effect of Policy on Women’s Health Issues, Medical Training and Practice

On October 26th, 2022, we hosted a webinar, “Putting Women’s Health on the Ballot.” 11 experts joined me in 4 separate panels to discuss how policy impacts women’s health. On this panel, three physicians leaders join me to talk about how legislation directly and indirectly affects our health care.  We discuss how the recent abortion ban has affected the training of doctors and their ability to provide skilled care to their patients and explore the importance of supporting women in the healthcare workforce. And you’ll see how state policies affect insurance coverage, access to care, and even how doctors are licensed.
