Climate change is a growing public health emergency, and clinicians are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful action. Join us for a panel discussion featuring healthcare leaders who are advancing climate initiatives in their practice, institutions, and communities.

Panelists will share practical approaches, lessons learned, and actionable steps clinicians can take to promote climate resilience and protect patient health.

Gain perspective and practical insight to:

• Strengthen influence on climate-related policy, organizational practices, and community health initiatives
• Support sustainability efforts and reduce healthcare’s environmental footprint in clinical settings
• Identify pathways for interdisciplinary and community-based climate action
• Integrate climate resilience, education, and advocacy into ongoing professional work

This reflective gathering invites physicians, residents, and medical students to explore the joys and challenges of a career in medicine through the lens of narrative medicine. Two guest authors will share their published works on the theme “Connections” opening the door to meaningful conversation in a safe, supportive space. This event is open to members and non-members.  

This session will not be recorded.
