AAPLOG is looking for medical and nurse midwifery students who desire to practice evidence-based as well as life-affirming healthcare at the service of all patients (born and preborn). The Hippocratic Academy is for medical trainees who recognize the irreplaceable value and worth of every human being from the moment of fertilization until natural death. Students who are interested in being leaders and advocates in their fields, are dedicated to helping return the medical profession to a life-affirming ethic, and who are interested in being a part of a nationwide alumni network throughout their career, are encouraged to apply. The Academy will encompass 3-4 years of training with 101, 201 and 301 courses as well as attendance at our national medical education conference (MBEC).
Equip medical and nurse midwifery students with the understanding and ability to articulate the medical evidence on the harms of induced abortion and the benefits of life-affirming medical care for patients.
Review the bioethical principles that physicians utilize when providing patient care and the impact those have on the profession of medicine long-term.
Define the true purpose of medicine and their responsibility as physicians to that purpose.
Develop a nationwide network of physicians who will lead in ensuring life-affirming medical care is not only available but also the standard of care through their individual practices (both private and academic), advocacy at the local, state and federal level, and by mentoring subsequent generations of medical professionals.
In addition to team building activities and outings in the DC area, the following courses will be a part of the Hippocratic Academy 101 Intensive:
