Many graduates of faithful Catholic schools have gone on to become pro-life leaders in the medical fields.

Many people are asking, “What’s next for the pro-life movement after the overturning of Roe v. Wade?” One strategic answer coming from faithful Catholic colleges is to populate the medical field with more pro-life, ethical leaders.

More than half the colleges recommended in The Newman Guide offer nursing programs, and some also prepare students for other medical careers. These are colleges rooted in the truth of human dignity and Catholic moral teaching, and already many graduates have become pro-life leaders in the medical fields.

Now that commitment to pro-life healthcare is growing, with several exciting, new programs.

The University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, recently announced its tuition-free Nursing Academy for select full-time freshmen. This is a tremendous opportunity for students to earn a highly-rated nursing degree in a little more than 2.5 years at a university that prioritizes Catholic social teaching, bioethical principles and moral advocacy. Students also benefit from the University of Mary’s core curriculum and rich sacramental life.

“It is tremendously important to us that students in the health professions receive specialized education … not only to become exceptional and skilled providers in their chosen fields, but also exemplars of moral courage, defenders of the sanctity of life and dignity of the human person,” said Dr. Mary Dockter, dean of the Saint Gianna School of Health Sciences (SGSHS), which is dedicated to the patronage of pro-life St. Gianna.
