Medical Students for Choice is an internationally known organization with a network of over 10,000 medical students and residents. MSFC is dedicated to ensuring that women receive the full range of reproductive health care choices. MSFC recognizes that one of the greatest obstacles to safe and legal abortion is the absence of trained providers. As medical students and residents, we work to make reproductive health care, including abortion, a part of standard medical education and residency training. In addition, this chapter of Medical Students for Choice will work to promote a respectful and informed dialogue about abortion and reproductive health on our campus through programming, advocacy and partnerships.
