Medical Students for a Sustainable Future is excited to announce that we will be holding our annual conference, Climate Health Equity Day on Saturday, February 28, 2026 in collaboration with the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health. We plan to make this year our biggest conference yet, so we hope you will join us at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia or tune in virtually on Zoom.
Our 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. We look forward to connecting with you all in the Spring!
Travel scholarships will be available to students for whom cost is a barrier to attendance – apply here.
