About Us

The overturning of Roe v. Wade has introduced unprecedented complexities and variations in reproductive healthcare and abortion care across states, leaving physicians in need of clear, reliable guidance. This dynamic legal landscape has created a critical demand for a centralized, up-to-date repository of resources, ensuring that clinicians can access the most current information on evolving laws, clinical best practices, and patient care considerations.

Our Mission

The Reproductive Health Resource Navigator was created by the AMA to serve as a comprehensive and accessible clearinghouse, empowering physicians with reliable, evidence-based resources to navigate the increasingly complex landscape of abortion care in the United States.

The fragmented nature of abortion care following the overturning of Roe v. Wade presents significant challenges for medical professionals. State-by-state variations in legislation mean that what constitutes legal and ethical practice can differ drastically from one jurisdiction to another. This legal ambiguity impacts everything from routine patient counseling and access to contraception to the management of complex obstetric emergencies, forcing physicians to navigate a labyrinth of regulations that often contradict established medical standards. Our platform seeks to cut through this confusion by providing timely updates and analyses of these evolving legal frameworks, allowing you to focus on providing optimal patient care.

Beyond legal considerations, the post-Roe landscape has created challenges in medical education and training. Residency programs in states with restrictive laws are learning how to navigate the current legislative landscape and provide comprehensive training in critical reproductive health procedures, which are essential for managing a wide range of obstetric and gynecological conditions. By centralizing educational materials, clinical guidelines, and best practices from across the nation, we aim to supplement training resource gaps and ensure that all physicians and medical students have access to the knowledge required for holistic reproductive healthcare.

Ultimately, the goal of the Reproductive Health Resource Navigator is to support physicians in maintaining the highest ethical and medical standards, even in the face of political and legal upheaval. We understand the profound moral distress and professional challenges faced by clinicians who are dedicated to patient well-being. By offering a reliable and unbiased source of information, we empower you to make informed decisions, advocate for your patients, and ensure that access to evidence-based reproductive healthcare remains a cornerstone of our medical system. Our commitment is to the medical community, enabling you to continue your vital work with confidence and clarity.
