visiting scholars working in the history of medicine and public health:

The Paul Klemperer Fellowship in the History of Medicine for scholarly
study of the history of medicine, using the collections of the New York
Academy of Medicine Library

The Audrey and William H. Helfand Fellowship in the History of Medicine
and Public Health for scholarly study of the history of medicine and
public health, with a preference for the use of visual materials

Each Helfand or Klemperer Fellow receives a stipend of $5,000 to support
travel, lodging and incidental expenses for a flexible period between June
