I know of a case where a student shadowed a physician in an emergency room. There was a huge influx of patients, and the physician seemed completely overwhelmed. Instead of handling the situation calmly, the doctor started making hasty and perhaps wrong diagnoses just to get through the patients quickly. The student was horrified as they could see the potential harm to the patients.

Increasing the number of medical school spots dedicated to obgyn training would also help. Medical schools could partner with hospitals in shortage areas to provide hands - on training. This would not only train more obgyns but also expose them to the need in these areas early on. Also, telemedicine can be used more effectively. An obgyn in a major city could remotely consult with patients in shortage areas, at least for initial evaluations and follow - up of less complex cases.
