EP I: Oct 10-17, 2026  |  EP II: April 1-10, 2027

Discover the Saint Paul VI Institute’s CREIGHTON MODEL FertilityCare System Allied Health Education Programs—the world’s only natural fertility regulation program grounded in an unwavering ethical foundation, inspired by Humanae Vitae, and backed by nearly 50 years of rigorous scientific research by Dr. Thomas W. Hilgers and the co-developers.

Jointly offered with Creighton University Health Sciences Continuing Education and accredited by the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals (AAFCP), these programs empower you to deliver authentic, pro-life women’s reproductive health care through the revolutionary CrMS and NaProTECHNOLOGY, tailoring protocols to NaProTECHNOLOGY patients and Creighton Model FertilityCare clients while respecting their personal beliefs and dignity.

Join a global community of dedicated professionals in our 49th year of transformative education. Students from around the world converge in Omaha, Nebraska, for intensive, total-immersion phases—eight-day Education Phase I and subsequent sessions—fostering inspiration, motivation, and shared values in a supportive learning environment.

Whether pursuing certification as a FertilityCare Practitioner, Instructor, Educator, CrMS Medical Consultant, or specialized tracks for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurse midwives, or pharmacists, you’ll gain the skills to establish pro-life women’s health services, network family planning with gynecologic health, and address real issues like infertility, PMS, and postpartum depression morally and effectively.

Forge lifelong friendships and professional support networks that extend far beyond the program, as you become part of a new allied health profession dedicated to healing, hope, and building a culture of life. Registration for the next class will be opening soon. Apply and answer the call to ethical, science-based reproductive medicine!
