HB 2621 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Prohibits medical schools from providing abortion-specific training and partnering with out-of-state entities to provide such training

This bill prohibits medical schools in the state from offering training specifically focused on performing abortions to their students and residents. It also bars these schools from collaborating with facilities in other states to provide such instruction. The law defines "abortion-specific training" as education on methods to intentionally end a pregnancy, but it allows for teaching procedures when they are performed strictly as a medical emergency. Consequently, the legislation directly impacts the curriculum and educational partnerships available to medical professionals within the state.
