Two Year Fellowship Program in Pediatric Ethics
The MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics and the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago are pleased to announce a new ethics fellowship training program in pediatric ethics.  This fellowship program will build on the MacLean Center’s successful clinical ethics fellowship program which has trained more than 150 academic physicians and over 25 pediatricians since 1985.  The goal of this program will be to prepare pediatricians for academic careers that combine clinical practice with scholarly studies in pediatric ethics and pediatric health policy. 

This two-year fellowship will provide clinical ethics training and a Master’s degree program in health policy.  The fellowship will include training in research, teaching, and clinical ethics consultations.  Some special features of the new program will include participation in a weekly pediatric ethics and health policy meeting with the Section of Community Health in the Institute of Molecular Pediatric Sciences (CH-IMPS), a monthly pediatric morning report, and active participation in the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Section on Bioethics.
