What have others said about our conference?

I learned a tremendous amount from the MBEC conference, but what has made the largest impact on me was knowing that I am not alone in this mission to protect women and children. Everytime I feel like I am alone in this fight as a future physician, I remember all the other students and mentors that I met and I no longer feel alone. Personally, I have faced much adversity since the overturn of Roe vs. Wade and so having the support of those who attended the conference has given me the strength to continue advocating for life.

It is so refreshing to be with physicians who recognize they are caring for two patients - a mother and a baby - and help women safely deliver high risk or crisis pregnancies.
Kathleen Raviele, M.D.
Conference Attendee
Just about perfect!! Just tough choosing between the breakouts because they all looked good. The pre-conference session with the students was great!
Conference Attendee, 2022
This conference provides cutting edge, pro-life medical updates that you won't find anywhere else.
George Delgado, M.D.
Conference Attendee
I have never been to a more welcoming energized conference! It was great to hear good science while being surrounded by like-minded people. It was very easy to talk with other participants, which is not the norm at other conferences. I really feel empowered to continue my pro-life work in the office and community.
Conference Attendee, 2022
