The mission of the 3-year Penn Postdoctoral Training Program in the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) of Genetics and Genomics, supported by a training grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute, is to prepare young scholars for success as creative, independent investigators in the field of ELSI research. Fellows will participate fully in the life of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, which is among the world’s leading bioethics departments, and will engage with the outstanding genetic medicine, science and ELSI communities at Penn. Fellows will receive a generous annual stipend, benefits, and funds for academic books and travel. ELSI fellows will pursue a Master of Science in Medical Ethics to prepare them to compete for external funding in ELSI research. Steven Joffe, MD, MPH directs the Fellowship; Pamela Sankar, PhD serves as Associate Director.
The Fellowship Experience
1. Mentored research: Working with one or more faculty mentors, Fellows will conduct original empirical and conceptual research intended to lead to the publication of at least 2 manuscripts in top-tier peer-reviewed journals.
2. Master of Science in Medical Ethics: ELSI fellows will pursue a Master of Science in Medical Ethics (MSME). As part of their coursework, fellows will participate in a weekly core bioethics proseminar led by the Fellowship Director and other faculty.
3. Training in genetic medicine and science: Fellows will participate in Genetic Foundations of Disease at the Perelman School of Medicine.
4. Department seminars: Fellows will participate in and present work at department seminars, including sessions focused on works-in-progress and presentations by department and affiliated faculty.
5. Institutional review board experience: Fellows will serve as a member of an institutional review board (IRB) at the University of Pennsylvania.
6. Clinical shadowing: Fellows will shadow physicians and genetic counselors in various genetics-related clinics at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
