Climate Health Equity Day 2026
February 28, 2026 | Arlington, Virginia, and Zoom
Medical Students for a Sustainable Future will be holding its annual conference, Climate Health Equity Day, on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in collaboration with the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health. MS4SF plans to make this year our biggest conference yet, so join it at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia, or tune in virtually on Zoom.
MS4SF’s goal is to create a space for students in the health professions (not just medical students!) to build community and connect with leaders in the climate and health space. The conference will feature research sessions where students will present projects related to the health impacts of climate change, climate-smart health care, curricular development, quality improvement, educating decision makers, and creative works.
Abstract submissions are also open!
MS4SF’s goal is to highlight student projects that focus on both research (quality improvement, health impacts of climate change, curriculum, educating decision makers, etc.) and exploring the humanities (poems, creative writing, art, etc.). Virtual and in-person presenter slots are available.
Deadline: This form is due by Monday, January 12, 2026 at 11:59 pm. Applicants will be notified of decisions on a rolling basis within 2 weeks after the deadline.
