ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate military medical students' attitudes toward contraception and abortion after clerkships. STUDYDESIGN:
We adapted a survey of civilian medical student attitudes for military students. We asked how clerkships changed perspectives and comfort discussing these topics.RESULTS:
Eighty-five (85%) of 100 respondents felt more comfortable discussing contraception and abortion after clerkships. More students changed perspectives on contraception than abortion (29% vs 17%, p = 0.043). Students noted limited exposure to abortion.CONCLUSIONS:
Clerkships increased comfort discussing contraception and abortion but were unlikely to change their attitudes. IMPLICATIONS More exposure to abortion care is needed.Palavras-chave
