Joining us this week for an incredibly insightful and alarming conversation is William T. Mallon, EdD.
Make sure to tune in as Dr. Mallon makes his Faculty Factory Podcast debut. We will dive into the crucial topic of academic medicine’s role in the climate crisis.
Dr. Mallon is the Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation Development at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
Dr. Mallon co-authored the report “Climate Action in Academic Medicine,” which provides an overview of how medical schools, teaching hospitals, and health systems are responding to climate change. You can download it here as a PDF.
In this interview, you’ll learn about the innovative ways in which medical schools, teaching hospitals, and health systems are responding to the urgent threat of climate change. Their efforts can help safeguard the health of our planet and its inhabitants.
“The irony is that without any action, we are making a major contribution to the climate crisis, which arguably is the greatest health threat of the 21st century,” Dr. Mallon told us.
