As a means of continuing to establish Maryland as a reproductive services sanctuary state, the Moore administration is putting more state funding into abortion services and training.
The state is awarding a $10.6 million grant to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to administer the Maryland Abortion Care Clinical Training Program. That initiative expands the number of healthcare professionals with abortion care training and increases racial and ethnic diversity in the workforce.
“Our training will target a major public health problem of abortion care training and abortion care access in our state,” said Dr. Jessica Lee, an associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and co-principal investigator on the training program. “We will specifically address training clinicians in underserved areas and rural areas in Maryland to help reverse health inequities and to provide reproductive health care services to those in need.”
