An academic medical center is a tertiary care hospital that is organizationally and administratively integrated with a medical school. The hospital is the principal site for the education of both medical students and postgraduate medical trainees. Often situated on or near a college or university campus, working together with the host institution and campus may be complicated. Now more than ever, medical and nursing students recognize climate change as an urgent threat to health and social justice.
This cohort provides a space for collaboration among hospital sustainability leaders, faculty/staff, students, and institutions of higher education to explore how academic medical centers can lead the way through initiatives and education.
Target audience: sustainability leads at academic medical centers, university health systems, and clinical leads and/or clinical champions at those institutions
Level: Beginner to intermediate
