In 2017, we are launching the first non-governmental policy fellowship for physicians. The Living Closer Foundation Fellowship in Climate & Health Science Policy is a 12-month immersive graduate medical education training program for doctors. Our goal is to train clinicians to proficiency in climate change communication, knowledge of climate and health linkages, and facility with the machinations of local, federal, and international climate and health policy.
We are pleased to offer our Fellowship in conjunction with the NIEHS and the CDC, and our Fellows will be expected to spend up to six months in both Washington DC and Atlanta with climate policy leaders.
