The Annual Meeting is a two-day conference held each fall to educate students on issues around abortion and family planning. Faculty are chosen based on their expertise in areas as diverse as the legal and ethical implications of abortion, techniques in first and second trimester abortion, and methods of contraception. We also offer the students hands-on training. Students' feedback is consistently excellent, as the Annual Meeting gives all who attend a chance to network with like-minded students and physicians, all while enhancing their medical education. The next Annual Meeting will be held in Chicago, Illinois, in December 2010.

Below is a sampling of some of the feedback that we received from students and residents when asked what they enjoyed the most about their experience at the Annual Meeting:

"Fantastic speakers and breakout sessions that apply to people at different levels of experience and knowledge."

"Just in one year's time from last year to this, I know that I will be a future provider. MSFC has been crucial in this decision-making process-the support and motivation that I receive inspires me and pushes me to put my all into my studies so that I may support and provide for all of my patients' reproductive healthcare needs."

"Thank you for this incredible meeting! This gives me the inspiration I need to pursue the path to becoming a provider that I came to medical school with."

"Great energy, good variety of topics covered, welcoming environment, empowering experience."

"The wonderful variety of speakers, all the great people, and the opportunity to share ideas and support each other."

"I'm excited about the question about intent to provide. At my first national Meeting I was undecided, to probably yes, and I am now committed to providing!"

"Thank you for providing the inspiration, resources and support to give us all the courage to become active, thoughtful, compassionate providers."

"I was very inspired and enlightened by the speakers."
