MBEC Student Scholarships: Creating a Home for Future Pro-Life Physicians

“Before I attended the AAPLOG MBEC conference, I had no idea how strong the pro-life movement was among physicians. This experience confirmed that there is a place for me in the field of Ob/Gyn and equipped me with the scientific evidence and research to better navigate complex and ethically challenging situations.” This statement from a recent scholarship recipient has become normal and is exactly why our work with the next generation is so critical. Last year you helped us raise enough funds to send our largest ever class (78) to MBEC! In 2026, we want to expand that even further to offer 100 students and residents the chance to attend the conference with a goal of raising $250,000 ($2500 per scholarship). If you want to learn more about supporting the next generation, please email Archer Bane (archer@aaplog.org).    Donate Now
