Caitlin Rublee, an alumna of the former Park Falls High School (now Chequamegon High School) in Park Falls and currently a student at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, is one of 14 medical students chosen by FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) to participate in a two-week program for future physicians that will take place this summer in New York, Germany, and Poland.
Now in its sixth year of operation, FASPE is a unique international program that explores the history of the Holocaust as a way to engage graduate students across five different fields (business, journalism, law, medicine, and religion) in an intensive study of contemporary ethics in their discipline. FASPE is predicated upon the power of place, and in particular, the first-hand experience of visiting Auschwitz and traveling in Germany and Poland, where Fellows study the past and consider how to apply the lessons of history to the current ethical challenges they will confront in their own professions.
