Induced abortion is a common procedure performed by physicians with varying degrees of clinical experience. We aimed to determine whether a physician's procedure volume influences complications after induced abortion. ⋯ Low physician procedure volumes are associated with an elevated risk of a complication after surgically induced abortion. Future investigation should compare processes of care between low- and higher-volume physicians to facilitate quality improvement in abortion care.
