Fully Funded Fellowships in Medical Professional Ethics from FASPE

FASPE medical Fellowships are now available for applicants all over the world. Each year, FASPE Medical awards fellowships to 14 to 16 medical students and residents.

Program Objectives:-

• FASPE Medicine challenges its Fellows to recognize their responsibility to act as ethical leaders in their medical careers. 

• FASPE begins by examining the actions and choices of German physicians in enabling and executing Nazi policies. 

• FASPE then draws on this historical example to help Medical Fellows grasp their role and responsibility as individuals with influence in their communities and to lead them to identify and confront the ethical issues currently facing physicians and the medical profession at large.

Eligibility:-

• FASPE Medical applicants must fit into one of following three categories:

  •  Be enrolled in an MD or DO program (or equivalent) at the time of their application and anticipate completion of at least one clinical year prior to the start of the fellowship. 

  • Have an MD or DO (or equivalent) and be working towards a subsequent bioethics or public health doctoral degree. 

  • Be enrolled in a residency program.

• FASPE seeks Fellows who are about to embark on their career as professionals, are interested in engaging in discussions with their co-Fellows and faculty, and who have the intellectual and emotional maturity to unpack difficult and controversial issues responsibly and respectfully in small group settings. 

• FASPE selects its Fellows on the basis of their academic background, personal and professional experiences, capacity for leadership and ability to contribute to the program and the alumni community.

Benefits:-

• FASPE Fellowships are fully funded so that financial ability does not affect participation.
