Founded by medical students in 1993 as a response to the almost complete deficit of abortion education in their medical training, the non-profit Medical Students for Choice has filled a unique niche in the abortion rights movement.

We work to ensure that medical students and trainees are educated about all aspects of reproductive health care, including abortion. With abortion training still lacking in medical school curricula, MSFC members organize to change institutional policies and broaden opportunities for all their fellow students to receive family planning education.

Medical Students for Choice supports any medical student or physician in training seeking abortion and family planning education. MSFC works to bring family planning and abortion education to medical students through the following programs: – Student Organizing – Conferences and Meetings – Abortion Training.

We believe that the values of this group directly impact undergraduate medical students through promoting safe, accessible and affordable abortion care and education. The values of the MSFC organization are as follows: "We believe that all people should have access to health services that allow them to lead safe, healthy lives including all aspects of sexual and reproductive health consistent with their own personal and cultural values.

Our work is guided by the following values:

• All reproductive health choices should be freely accessible to all people. People are the experts on their own bodies and experiences.

• All people have the right to make their own decisions regarding sexuality, health, and whether and when to have children. Sexual health decisions such as abortion affect people of all identities.

• All social justice movements intersect and therefore achieving our mission requires working collaboratively to overcome all forms of oppression.

• All people are entitled to empathy and compassionate medical care without judgment.

• Providing abortion care is a deeply moral decision.

• Abortion and contraception are vital aspects of medical care that should be embraced as standard practice and as fundamental to medical education.
