Pursue Your Passion for Environmental Justice: Apply Now for the Center for Health Justice Fellowship
Health equity cannot be achieved by medical care alone. Social and political factors greatly impact the health of communities, including the environments where they live, work, and play.
As part of the our commitment to engage diverse perspectives and sectors, the AAMC Center for Health Justice convened the Multisector Partner Group, a team of leaders from in and outside health care and academic medicine, and identified environmental justice as one of the most pressing health equity issues facing people across the U.S. — and the newest focus area of the center. In 2023 and beyond, the Center for Health Justice will launch programs, conduct research, and develop expertise to serve the health equity community working to address environmental injustice.
The AAMC Center for Health Justice is seeking an inaugural full-time fellow with a strong background and network in environmental justice, as well as a passion for the collaborative process of health justice to support the co-development of the center’s environmental justice portfolio. Under the mentorship and guidance of center leadership, and with input from the Multisector Partner Group and the AAMC CHARGE collaborative, the fellow will have the opportunity to develop key skills, knowledge, and networks while contributing to a national effort to promote health equity and environmental justice. The center will support one fellow for a period of two years, starting September 2023.
Join the center's multidisciplinary team and work with communities fighting for safe, healthy environments. Deadline for applications is March 31.
