Arlington, VA – On Friday, Students for Life of America proudly announced the launch of their Medical Students for Life program. This new program will give support to pro-life medical students in a way that has never been done before.
Medical Students for Life aims to unite pro-life students at med schools around the country and give them the resources they need to spread the pro-life message to their peers.
Kristan Hawkins, SFLA Executive Director, remarked, “Never before has there been such a program to help pro-life medical students organize on their university’s campus. Medical professionals are on the front lines of the pro-life movement, and it is important for us to train the next generation of pro-life physicians.”
Students for Life of America has hired Dominique Monlezun to lead the initiative to network and training pro-life med students as the National Coordinator for Medical Students for Life.
Dominique was accepted to Tulane School of Medicine during his sophomore year at Tulane University and is set to graduate summa cum laude in spring of 2011 with a double major in Philosophy and English. He will enter Tulane’s medical class in the dual degree program of Medical Doctor and Master’s in Public Health during the fall of 2011.
Dominique believes the greatest impact he can make in the pro-life movement is by joining the medical profession and looks forward to supporting his pro-life peers in medical schools across the country.
“We as members of society expect our medical professionals to be safeguards of life,” says Dominique. “I am passionately committed to helping other young adults study medicine and cultivate the original Hippocratic Oath’s pledge to respect the dignity of every human life, including the unborn.”
Medical Students for Life has already began preparing for the fall of 2010.
