As if the main content of our annual Matthew Bulfin Educational Conference (MBEC) wasn’t enough to educate and inspire pro-life medical professionals like you, AAPLOG is offering three different pre-conference workshops on Thursday, Feb. 25, now open for registration. The hard part will be deciding which one to attend!
Medical Voices Masterclass
This professional development course is designed to make you feel at ease using your voice for Life, no matter where you are called to do so. Attendees will complete brief readings and videos ahead of time to prepare for a day of active, hands-on learning. Led by national experts, this training will include preparation for media interviews, testifying at state legislative hearings, and depositions. For attendees participating in the entire day (9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. CST), lunch will be served. Half-day options will be offered in both the morning and afternoon for Life-Affirming Medical Voices Training: Science-Based Communication for Tough Conversations in Every Situation and Legal Training: Surviving A Deposition and Utilizing Your Medical Expertise.
This training is in-person for medical professionals and students, and spots are going fast! Register today as space is limited.
The Foundational FACTS of the Female Cycle
FACTS About Fertility is offering a half-day workshop (from 12:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. CST) on mastering the facts about the fifth vital sign: the female cycle. Led by Dr. Marguerite Duane, FACTS Executive Director, and other experts, participants will prepare for first trimester care, learn how cycle charts can be used as diagnostic tools, and take part in small group case studies focused on women’s health concerns.
Building Bridges: Having Useful Conversations with Friends and Colleagues with Secular Pro-Life
Another full-day workshop (8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. CST), this class will equip you to have difficult discussions well, because when we are winsome, we can win people, not just arguments. Taught in equal parts lecture-style and practical role play, the course will cover five important topics: 1) identifying yourself as pro-life, 2) talking conversationally (not combatively) about abortion, 3) debating logically about abortion, 4) staying emotionally regulated during these discussions, and 5) building bridges to support abortion-vulnerable women.
The sessions are free for registered conference attendees, which you can choose during registration or modify your registration to update your selection.
