A storied fellowship in medical ethics for active clinicians
The Siegler Fellowship in Clinical Medical Ethics is a prestigious program that has engaged hundreds of participants since its inception, including leaders from this institution and beyond.
This executive program is designed for clinicians and academic physicians who are interested in gaining training and experience in medical ethics. The fellowship begins with a four-week, full-time Summer Intensive in July.
During the Summer Intensive, fellows attend 3-4 seminars daily. From September to May, fellows meet one day a week on Wednesdays for a structured ethics curriculum including Topics in Clinical Medical Ethics, Introduction to Moral Philosophy, and Research-in-Progress seminars. With faculty supervision, fellows participate actively in an Ethics Consultation service. Faculty mentors assist fellows as they design and carry out a research project.
While most fellows are physicians, we welcome those interested in medical ethics from any perspective, including philosophy, nursing, and the social sciences. There is no fee for the fellowship, and participants in the general part-time fellowship program do not receive a stipend.
