History&Philosophy of Medicine - CSF

Catalog description

The Clendening/King/LeMaster Summer Fellowship provides support for eight to ten medical students to pursue independent research between the first and second years of medical school. Successful fellows gain the opportunity to grow personally and professionally through individually created projects that explore the social, moral, and historical dimensions of medicine and healing. With mentorship from faculty in the Department of History and Philosophy of Medicine and financial support from the program, students can choose to pursue their research either internationally or in the U.S. To apply for a fellowship, students submit a formal proposal that includes a description of the project, its goals and methods, a detailed budget, and a bibliography. In the methods section, students will describe the primary source material (be it archival, ethnographic interviews, or a data set, etc.) required to complete their project and their current ability to access or generate the material. Applications are due each year in February. Questions about the fellowship should be addressed to Dr. Ryan Fagan, [email protected], or Dr. Jason Glenn, 913-588-0076, [email protected], co-directors of the Clendening/King/LeMaster Summer Fellowship Program. The Wichita coordinator is Dr. Samuel Ofei-Dodoo ([email protected]). Prerequisite: To apply for a fellowship, students submit a formal proposal that includes a description of the project and its goals and methods, as well as a detailed budget and bibliography.
