Abstract
This aim of this study was to gain an updated perspective of the teaching and learning experiences of abortion care among Australian medical students. All 2020 Australian final-year medical students were invited to complete a 12-question cross-sectional electronic survey. While it appears that abortion care is taught in most Australian medical schools, in some it is not, and where the topic is presented, structured and standardised teaching is still lacking. Students’ confidence around abortion care once they are in practice is low, and the majority of students showed a strong desire to have more direct abortion placement exposure. The current abortion curriculum in Australia needs revision and refinement.
