The Death & Dying Fellowship takes on a key challenge: the reality that professionals are not well prepared to deal with death, dying, and grieving families, especially during an era of COVID-19. The Fellowship allows participants to learn, confront, and discuss the legal, medical, social, cultural, familial, and spiritual aspects of death and dying within a multidisciplinary group in a low-pressure environment. The sessions will include opportunities to practice conversation skills, facilitated conversations, and site visits.

Who Should Apply

Current or recent graduate students in the Pittsburgh area from health-related disciplines, including but not limited to: Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Pathology, Social Work, Rehabilitation, Ethics, Psychology, Counseling, Health Policy, Public Health, Law, Business, Pastoral Care, and Psychology.

How to Apply

Applications for the 2023 fellowship are now closed.
