Museum Launches Ground Breaking New Program in Collaboration with Yale Medical and Law Schools: Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics
Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust announces the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE), a ground breaking initiative taking place in New York, Berlin, and Poland that challenges medical and law students to consider contemporary ethical issues facing their professions—using the Holocaust and the conduct of their professions in Nazi Germany as a framework for the study. FASPE is now accepting applications for the inaugural program, which will take place in summer 2010.
Applications and more information are available at www.mjhnyc.org/faspe.
Professional school students will be chosen based on demonstrated superior academic ability and interest. Applicants will be required to submit academic transcripts, references, and a letter of recommendation, in addition to two essays. Completed applications are due no later than December 15. The committee will inform all candidates of their decisions by January 31, 2010. Those chosen for the program will have all costs of the program covered, including travel, lodging, and food. For more information, please contact Shiri Sandler at ssandler@mjhnyc.org.
