Medical Students for Choice meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Medical Students for Choice (MSFC) works to ensure that medical students and trainees are educated about all aspects of reproductive health care, including abortion. The organization supports any medical student or physician in training seeking abortion and family planning education. MSFC's Student Organizing program uses the Community Organizing model to help student chapters plan and implement their own activities to educate their peers and address the needs of their community. The organization's Family Planning Education program holds an annual conference on family planning and several smaller Abortion Training Institutes and regional meetings. MSFC's Abortion Training program provides financial support for individuals obtaining direct exposure to the provision of abortion care in a clinical setting. In 2018, MSFC reports that it had active members at more than 220 medical schools around the world and hosted nearly 1,800 events.
