London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) is a world-class academic health sciences centre located in the southwestern Ontario City of London.

As one of Canada’s largest acute-care teaching hospitals, LHSC is a world-class innovator in clinical care, research and teaching, delivering both local and regional services, including the Children’s Hospital, within a large geographic area. LHSC has a workforce of close to 15,000, dedicated to delivering the highest quality patient care while working together to shape the future of health

The Office of Health Ethics at London Health Sciences Centre invites applicants for a one-year fellowship in Applied Health Ethics starting in May 2024. A second-year extended fellowship may be available to the successful fellow.

The Office of Health Ethics provides clinical, organizational, and research ethics support to University Hospital, Victoria Hospital, and Children’s Hospital. In addition, we provide services to a number of regional Long-Term Care Homes. The fellowship provides opportunities to work with our partners including Western University’s Research Ethics Office, The Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, and the School of Health Studies.

The purpose of the fellowship is to prepare future practicing healthcare ethicists to be competent in clinical and organizational ethics consultation, with sufficient background and experience in research ethics and teaching to provide a foundation for future development. The follow will be provided with opportunities to engage with ethical consults as they arise across a breadth of medical sub-specialities.

Fellows are expected to begin development of one academic paper intended for publication during the program. The program will use the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities Core Competencies as a framework for evaluation.
