Each Fellow will progress through the same courses in the same sequence, but the individual experience of the fellowship will be customizable based on personal and professional interests and goals. Urban Bioethics faculty and staff offer workshops, presentations, and additional resources throughout the year to support students’ learning and growth.

The third year of the Fellowship will not include any coursework or registration, and will focus on supporting Fellows in reaching their individual goals for their project through activities such as conference presentations, submissions for publication, and applications for grant funding.
