Nicole Simms, CSHS Staff
As current and future health professionals, engaging health faculty students in health system sustainability is of crucial importance in achieving the necessary shift toward environmentally sustainable health systems. Since its inception less than a year ago, we here at CSHS have been awed and inspired by the work of the student-led Emerging Leaders for Environmentally Sustainable Healthcare (ELESH) to this effect. From hosting a successful case competition to winning multiple grants and awards, ELESH has worked tirelessly to develop creative approaches to its primary objective of encouraging “interdisciplinary learning and action to address issues of environmental sustainability across the many disciplines and professions that deliver healthcare.”
