The Center for Bioethics is home to a one-year clinical ethics fellowship designed to provide
intensive training for individuals seeking to do bedside clinical ethics under expert supervision.
Our trainees are exposed to inpatient and outpatient consults and help address policy and other healthcare related issues. The fellowship is competency and practice based, and strives to meet competencies as described by organizations such as the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities as well as the Association of Bioethics Program Directors.
The fellowship is a 12-month program that takes place between July 1 and June 30. The fellow is
expected to be available, with flexibility, a minimum of 24 weeks during the year. A terminal postgraduate degree is required. MD/DO candidates are given preference, but non-physician applicants are welcome and encouraged to apply as well. OSU faculty are also welcome to apply. The chosen fellow or fellows will be compensated for the work they will do for the Center.
