The Emerging Physician Leader Award was established by the Health Care Without Harm Physician Network in 2018 to support the next generation of physician climate and sustainability leaders. The award recognizes medical students, residents, and fellows who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing environmentally responsible, climate-smart health care through mitigation, resilience and leadership, along with working on climate solutions to protect health. This year, the award is offered by Health Care Without Harm in collaboration with the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Emerging Physician Leader Award recipients will receive:
- Free registration to CleanMed Atlanta from May 6-8
- Up to three nights lodging in the CleanMed Atlanta conference hotel
- Reimbursement of travel expenses up to $600 for transportation to and from the conference
- A $1,000 grant to support a project that aligns with the goals of the Health Care Without Harm Physician Network to support physician and medical student action to reduce the environmental impact of health delivery and promote climate-smart health care through mitigation, resilience, and leadership
