Courses that build on Fundamentals to focus on particular practices, roles or settings.

  • Fundamentals of sustainable health systems
  • Quality improvement

Through pre-work, four interactive sessions, team and individual mentorship, and debriefing opportunities, we explore the challenges, opportunities, and leadership capabilities required to improve, change, and transform the health sector for sustainability

This course is designed to provide members of the healthcare community with a better understanding of how we can mobilize metrics to assess and mitigate the environmental impacts of the health sector at the micro, meso, and macro levels. The technicalities, applications, limitations, and challenges of measurement methodologies such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon footprinting will be explored. Through a mix of lectures, readings, and individual and group exercises, attendees will develop their environmental measurement literacy, learn to generate basic carbon footprints, and enhance their ability to tackle sustainability challenges in an informed and systematic way.
