THE HIPPOCRATIC ACADEMY

Evidence-Based Training & Mentorship

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 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 include dedicated training as well as attendance at our national medical education conference (MBEC).   

Additionally, all students will be assigned medical professional mentors for the remainder of their training.   

OBJECTIVES

Why The Hippocratic Academy

Equip medical and nurse midwifery students to articulate the medical evidence on harms of induced abortion and the benefits of life-affirming care.

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, advocate, mentor and ensure life-affirming medical care becomes the standard of care
