Student Testimonials
Reflections on the ethical and faith-based foundations gained through the REACH Badge program.
The REACH Badge program intersects at a point where faith and the desire to serve others in a healthcare setting meet. It teaches participants how to use Catholic ethical principles to navigate real-life, complex clinical scenarios. It provides profound insight into the ethical dilemmas we face daily as clinicians. I encourage everyone to participate in the REACH badge to enhance their understanding of the 'why' behind the decision-making process. It will assist you, as a future leader in healthcare, in applying faith-based principles to navigate ethical dilemmas, while equipping you with the confidence and preparation needed for real-world application.

Every FranU student given the opportunity should consider participating in the REACH Badge program. As a graduate who will likely never work professionally in a healthcare setting, I am glad I took the opportunity myself. It was helpful to consider Catholic teaching on how we should face morally unclear situations. I appreciated sitting around a table with fellow students and professors, who each shared valuable insights and perspectives so that together, we could come to a better understanding of the ethical situation of each case study and some morally acceptable options we would have in the ambiguous situations.
