The impact of Dobbs v. Jackson on medical school applications

Author

  • Hess, Joshua H.

Abstract

I examine the relative impact of the Dobbs decision – which allowed states to restrict abortion access – and find schools in states with abortion bans saw a 0.65% increase in the 2022 share of women’s applications and a 1.17% increase in the 2023 share, but no measurable changes in the out-of-state share in either year. This is plausibly driven by applicants interested in an OB/GYN specialty.
