Pregnancy-care intentions and practice among family medicine physicians: residents, obstetric fellows, and fellowship alumni
Results suggest FMOB fellows are more likely intend to provide pregnancy-related care compared to FM residents, and alumni provide pregnancy-related care at rates similar to fellow intentions. Few FM residents complete obstetrics fellowships. FMOB fellowships alone cannot sufficiently address care shortages. Expanding and promoting FMOB fellowships would increase the pregnancy -care workforce, but more is needed for FM to realize its potential to resolve the crisis.
