The MacLean Center provides an outstanding setting for training in medical ethics. We offer the following types of fellowship opportunities: a two-year full-time Master’s Degree program and a one year part-time program.

The MacLean Center is now accepting applications for fellowship to begin July 1, 2008.

Two-year, full-time Master’s Degree fellowship
The University of Chicago invites applications for a unique two-year fellowship program. We seek primary care physicians -- general medicine, general pediatrics, family medicine or geriatrics -- who plan an academic career with a focus on health policy and clinical medical ethics. This fellowship is part of a University-wide initiative to integrate studies in clinical medicine with those in the social sciences. We provide a health services research curriculum including courses on biostatistics, epidemiology, health economics, health policy and study design. Fellows also take a structured ethics curriculum that includes Topics in Clinical Ethics, Conceptual Foundations of Health Law, Analytic Philosophy, research-in-progress seminars, as well as participating in a busy ethics consultation service. Working with mentors, each fellow will design and carry out a research project, and obtain a Master's degree. We are accepting applications for July, 2008. Stipend commensurate with experience. The application deadline is December 31, 2007.
