Dr. Duane will be speaking live at the University of Illinois-Chicago Medical Campus. Click here to watch live at 1:30pm EST or 12:30pm CST.
As part of our Medical Students for Life 2013 Spring Tour, Dr. Duane is speaking on Modern Fertility Awareness as an alternative to prescribing birth control pills.
Our belief in the sanctity of life extends into family planning. Delivering medically accurate information on reproductive health plays a huge role in caring for both the mother and preborn baby as a patient. Women who consistently use birth control pills for a 10-15 year time period seriously increase their chances of developing cancer and problem pregnancies. Dr. Duane is providing information on natural methods to increase or decrease the likelihood of pregnancy without using chemicals to do so.
