California’s training investment is unique in both scope and depth. The RHSC is developing and strengthening training  pathways for the entire healthcare team — expanding their knowledge and capacity to provide abortion care. Simultaneously, it updates our training institutions while harnessing our existing talent and expertise. The $20 million allocated to RHSC represents a historic investment in the reproductive health care workforce, with an additional $20 million for scholarships and loan repayment available through the Clinical Infrastructure Fund.
