FASPE (Fellowship at Auschewitz for the Study of Medical Ethics) Medical Program — (Application deadline 12/19/2017)
Summer Ethics Program for Medical Students
FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) is now accepting applications for its 2018 Medical program.
FASPE Medical is a fully-funded, two-week summer program that uses the conduct of doctors and other medical professionals in Nazi Germany as a launching point and backdrop for an intensive study of contemporary medical ethics. FASPE Medical is predicated upon the power of place. Fellows visit Auschwitz and other sites in Germany and Poland where they consider how to apply the lessons of history to the ethical challenges in medicine today.
In 2018, the program will take place from Sunday, June 17 to Friday, June 29. (Fellows are expected to arrive in Europe by Saturday, June 16.) All program costs are covered, including the equivalent of round-trip travel from New York to Europe, as well as all European travel, lodging, and food. FASPE Medical Fellows travel and share some seminars with Fellows in the FASPE Seminary program.
FASPE Medical is open to all current MD and DO students.
