Requiring publicly funded medical schools to teach certain life-saving methods
HB 2151 requires all publicly-funded medical schools in West Virginia to teach specific life-saving medical procedures, including abortion pill reversal (a method to potentially counteract abortion medication within 72 hours), ectopic pregnancy treatment, miscarriage management, and perinatal hospice care. The bill defines these terms and mandates that schools incorporate them into standard curricula. Publicly-funded medical schools that fail to comply may lose state funding after review by the Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability. The legislation claims these teachings are necessary for public health and safety, focusing on evidence-based practices for high-risk pregnancies and prenatal care.
