My New Position: National Director of Med Students for Life of America

September 12, 2011 by Gerard M. Nadal

Today I begin a new endeavor as the National Director of Med Students for Life of America, a division of Students for Life of America.

A few weeks ago, Kristan Hawkins contacted me about taking the helm of this growing organization of medical students across the country. The group has grown considerably under the leadership of Dominique Monlezun, who started his first year at Tulane University’s medical school last month.

There is much work to be done in cultivating a whole new generation of physicians who respect life from conception to natural death. A great many medical schools are hostile toward students who refuse to perform abortions as a routine part of training. The ethics in these schools and the approach to patients and human dignity needs to be addressed by providing students with access to pro-life physicians and ethicists as mentors.

In building on the great foundation already laid by Dominique, I’ll be busy rallying many of the pro-life physician, pharmacist and nursing organizations around our med students. There’s lots in the hopper, and I’ll be blogging about it all as we go along. For now, suffice it to say that Students for Life is a team of incredibly talented and visionary individuals, each one a leader, and I’m proud to be a part of their efforts.

I’m keeping this short because I’m dealing with a very fluid situation with my niece who suffered a bit of a set-back last night. AGAIN, Regina and I are so grateful for all of the prayers for Elise.

God Bless.

    Congratulations! That will be exciting.

    This is wonderful news! Congratulations!

    How wonderful! Congratulations! You MUST keep us all updated on all the wonderful (and challenging) growth you will help to foster. At which medical facility is this organization going to work? We need really pro-life doctors, nurses, technicians, etc., especially in our “catholic” hospitals! God bless you and we (the Benedictines) will be keeping you in our daily prayers before our Eucharistic Lord!

    That’s awesome, congratulations!
    However you may want to change it to “Students for LiFe” as it currently says “Students for LiE”, humorously ironic…

    Congratulations and thank you for being willing to do such great and needed work.

    I’m so glad there’s an organization like Med Students for Life. I have been praying for a new generation of truly Catholic hospitals staffed by people who are young now who catch a vision of a life filled with service and who are faithful to truth in the teachings of the Church. I will offer prayers for Med Students for Life.

    I have also been praying for Elise.

    I hope others will join me in this prayer. O Lord of the Universe, Great Physician, we ask you to please grant your beautiful daughter Elise healing in body and in spirit. Grant her and her family consolation and peace in this time of trial and turmoil. Please accept our offerings of fasting and sacrifice for this intention. Mother Mary, lay our petition gently in your heart, and when we have forgotten to pray, bring this petition ever so lovingly to your Son, our Lord. Amen.
