This would be a great opportunity for anyone interested in end of life care, and they're covering a large portion of your expenses.  Anyone interested please follow the instructions on the website below.

2008 End of Life Care Fellowship Program

The End of Life Education Fellowship Program is a six-week summer experience designed to introduce fourteen to sixteen medical students to end of life care issues. Offered in Chicago, IL andFort Lauderdale, FL, the End of Life Education Fellowship Program combines an orientation to end of life care with weekly seminars and field placements at local hospices, nursing homes, and inpatient units.  This year’s program will run from June 23 through August 1, 2008.

 

At both program sites, fellows will spend one to two days per week in seminar sessions and three to four days a week rotating through placement sites where they will work with various preceptors to gain the broadest exposure to a variety of EOL care settings. While at their program sites, Fellows will also be expected to develop end of life curricula to be implemented at their medical schools and to be shared on the web with medical schools across the nation. Although students will have to secure their own housing for the program (with assistance from their program site in identifying potential neighborhoods), a stipend will be provided to assist in covering most living expenses.

 

In order to be eligible, applicants must have completed their first year of medical school by June 2008. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.  For more information and the application, please visit www.amsa.org/eol.  Applications are due Monday, March 24, 2008.
