FEINSTEIN FELLOWSHIPS

Local graduate students and healthcare professionals have an opportunity to gain access to the outstanding local leaders who are shaping health practice, policy, and making discoveries.  Through the Jewish Healthcare Foundation's Feinstein Fellowships, students and professionals work and learn in multi-disciplinary teams to acquire a new appreciation of our local health system, while being challenged to think and perform at the frontier. Perfecting Patient CareSM, our flagship Lean methodology for health care, underpins each Fellowship.

Death & Dying Fellowship   (January-April)

Most healthcare professionals are not well prepared to deal with death, dying, and grieving families. The Death & Dying Fellowship allows participants to learn, confront, and discuss the legal, medical, social, cultural, familial, and spiritual aspects of death and dying within a multi-disciplinary group in a low-pressure environment. In the final session, Fellows convert their learning into an action plan for the community and for their own careers and institutions.
