Climate & Health Equity Fellowships
Climate & Health Equity Fellowship (CHEF)
CHEF was launched in 2021 in partnership with the National Medical Association (NMA) recognizing climate change as both a health emergency and a major health equity issue. The goal of the Fellowship is to empower physicians to become leaders in climate and health equity education, advocacy, and policy solutions. CHEF is open to all physicians, including society members and nonmembers.
