Climate Action and Sustainability in Academic Medicine
2–3 pm ET (11 am–12 pm PT)
An increasing number of hospitals and health systems are appointing clinicians to the roles of medical directors of sustainability (MDS) -- and academic health systems are leading this trend, with more than 90% of the known MDSs at academic systems.
What are these roles? What do medical directors of sustainability do? Does YOUR health system need one and, if so, how do you make the case?
Join our next collaborative meeting with a distinguished panel of medical directors of sustainability from a diverse group of institutions.

Launched in 2023, the Climate Action and Sustainability in Academic Medicine Community forum is designed for individuals at academic health systems who have a professional or educational interest in sustainability and climate action across their organizational missions (clinical care, research, education, community engagement, and operations and facilities). This community is supported by the American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and Practice Greenhealth.
