Am. Assoc. of Pro Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Held annually for more than 30 years, the Matthew Bulfin Educational Conference (MBEC) is the nation’s premier scholarly forum for educating and equipping pro-life medical professionals. From March 27-29 at the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity outside Chicago, the goal of the 2020 MBEC will be to explore the common ground of Hippocratic Medical Professional societies and address the point at which Hippocratic Medicine differs from Utilitarian medical ethics: the definition of “Health” and the one-to-one responsibility of the Hippocratic physician to his or her patients. http://conference.aaplog.org/

The MBEC accomplishes other goals as well, including:
• Quality continuing medical education (CME) credits for licensed physicians
• An academic forum for the development of research on and discussion of relevant topics
• A professional pro-life perspective for medical students and residents on relevant topics.

The Online Education Outreach program meets the needs of AAPLOG members, medical residents, and practicing physicians around the world. AAPLOG offers well-researched position papers and presentation videos on its website to educate and equip pro-life physicians and residents and to advance a medical pro-life perspective within the medical community.

AAPLOG keeps the uploaded material current. Many of the presentation videos are recorded during the annual MBEC, and they feature speakers from the Watson Bowes Research Institute, American College of Pediatricians, and Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

AAPLOG is committed to educating and equipping the next generation of physicians with evidence-based reasons for a pro-life medical perspective. This program is a critical opportunity for students to hear a medical professional pro-life perspective, reinforcing and informing their personal beliefs and perspectives. AAPLOG members connect with and sponsor students/ residents as part of the association’s mentorship program.

Part of the mentoring program is to sponsor the pre-med students’ and Ob/Gyn residents’ attendance at the MBEC. Each conference sponsorship pays for conference registration, round trip transportation, two nights lodging, and most of the food costs of the conference.

One of AAPLOG’s core-function programs is primarily a volunteer-based program. The Expert Witness Project is an extension of our concern about the profound, adverse effects of elective abortion, not just on women, but also on the entire involved family, and on our society at large. Dozens of AAPLOG members invest tens of thousands of volunteer hours every year to provide policy makers and state and federal judges the medical information they need to make informed policy decisions and judgments.

We file amicus briefs and appear as expert medical witnesses. In 2016, AAPLOG was involved in the favorable decision in the Little Sisters of the Poor case and helped defend state clinic regulations, pain-capable bans, and dismemberment bans.
