Fellowships

Cleveland Fellowship in Advanced Bioethics

The Cleveland Fellowship in Advanced Bioethics (CFAB) is a two-year, full-time in-person program designed to prepare graduates to become leaders in clinical ethics. It is our belief that a robust clinical training program must not only prepare fellows to perform clinical ethics consultation independently and contribute to existing scholarship, but also lead an ethics program.

Established in 2007, the fellowship is one of the longest running and most prestigious clinical ethics training programs in the U.S., having trained more than 25 bioethicists. Former fellows can be found leading programs across the country, contributing to bioethics literature and innovating the field. The fellowship provides comprehensive clinical ethics consultation experience, opportunities for focused scholarly activities in fellows' respective areas of interest, ethics education, experience in organizational service activities and training in  leadership and professionalism skills including ethics program development, with opportunity for collaboration with the robust bioethics community in the Cleveland area. Completion of program requirements will prepare fellows for careers primarily in the clinical setting as independent ethics consultants, but also in academic environments.

Applications will be considered from professionals with terminal post-graduate degrees (MD, JD, PhD) in medicine, philosophy, nursing, social work, religious studies, law, or other fields related to the practice of clinical and academic bioethics. Priority will be given to applicants with strong potential for leadership in the field and who will most benefit from the rich clinical environment this program offers. Completed applications must be submitted by November 1 and the starting date for the fellowship is July 1 of each year. Application guidelines are found near the bottom of this page.

Transplant Ethics Fellowship

Cleveland Clinic's Fellowship in Transplant Ethics was established in 2013. Cleveland Clinic is an ideal environment for the study of ethics in transplantation, given its history of promoting advances in medicine and surgery, as well as its high volume of successful liver, kidney, intestinal, lung, bone marrow, and heart transplants.

Training requires a one-year commitment with a possibility of a second year depending on performance and other considerations. Fellows focus on scholarly activities in combination with clinical involvement in ethical issues surrounding organ donation and transplantation. In addition, transplant ethics fellows will benefit from sharing educational opportunities with those engaged in the Cleveland Fellowship in Advanced Bioethics, as described above.

Applications will be considered from professionals with terminal post-graduate degrees in a field related to the practice of clinical or academic Bioethics, such as medicine, philosophy, nursing, social work, religious studies, and law. Priority will be given to applicants with strong potential for leadership in the field and those who will most benefit from the rich clinical environment this program offers.

Completed applications must be submitted by November 1 for training beginning on July 1 of the following year.
