Baltimore, MD jobs
Name of the Program: Leadership in Planetary Health (LiPH) Fellowship in Emergency Medicine
Faculty Director(s): Christopher Lemon, MD
Number of Trainees: 1
Length of the Program: 1 year
Description of Activities
Overview of the Leadership in Planetary Health (LiPH) Fellowship:
The Leadership in Planetary Health (LiPH) Fellowship is designed to prepare emergency medicine clinicians to become transformative leaders by equipping them with the tools and expertise to integrate Planetary Health principles into clinical practice, research, education, policy, and innovation. Planetary Health, defined as "the health of human civilization and the state of the natural systems on which it depends," emphasizes the profound interconnectedness of human and environmental health. This framework addresses critically complex challenges-climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and issues related to water and land utilization-while striving to safeguard a livable future for all life on Earth.
The fellowship responds to the growing recognition within emergency medicine, particularly in the wake of COVID-19, that the specialty must evolve to meet mounting existential threats. Emergency clinicians are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation, given their ability to navigate time-sensitive crises and address the systemic factors driving them. By embracing the inherently interdisciplinary nature of Planetary Health, the fellowship enables clinicians to tackle these challenges at their roots while fostering resilience and hope within both the healthcare system and the communities it serves.
Through collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Institute for Planetary Health (JHIPH) and leveraging the university's transdisciplinary One University framework, the program provides fellows with a robust ecosystem of education, mentorship, and practical opportunities. This highly customizable program supports individual aspirations and broader collective goals, ensuring fellows are well-prepared to advance the Planetary Health movement. Fellows benefit from a combination of foundational core components and tailored experiences, empowering them to align their training with personal ambitions while addressing critical global challenges.
Core and Customizable Planetary Health Didactics
Fellows will participate in a core set of Planetary Health didactic experiences, co-created with faculty affiliates of JHIPH, to build foundational knowledge and interdisciplinary connections. In collaboration with JHIPH Educational Programs and its Planetary Health University-wide curriculum mapping efforts, fellows will co-design additional course plans tailored to their specific goals. These courses might draw on disciplines from across the University like public health, environmental science, engineering, and humanities, enabling fellows to explore a curriculum tailored to their career goals and aspirations for the fellowship.
Advocacy
Fellows will contribute to the Planetary Health curriculums for JHIPH Clinical Programs. They will develop and deliver educational content to learners across disciplines, fostering an understanding of Planetary Health's critical role in clinical care. They will serve as mentors to students, residents, and colleagues, as well as represent Planetary Health initiatives at local, national, and international events.

Fellows will engage in the relevant Johns Hopkins Planetary Health ecosystem by participating with the University's Sustainability Leadership Council, the Johns Hopkins Hospital System Sustainability Working Group, as well as collaborations with JHIPH and the Planetary Health Alliance (PHA). They will contribute to policy recommendations that integrate Planetary Health principles into healthcare practices and guidelines.
Externship Experience
Fellows will participate in an immersive, experiential learning opportunity with a partner organization, leveraging the extensive network of the Johns Hopkins University ecosystem. This includes the unique connections facilitated by the Johns Hopkins Institute for Planetary Health (JHIPH), such as its partnership with the Planetary Health Alliance (PHA) and its nearly 500 global collaborators. Opportunities may also extend to local organizations within Baltimore's diverse communities.
Through these externship opportunities, fellows will apply Planetary Health principles to real-world challenges, driving practical, scalable change while addressing critical issues such as sustainability, disaster preparedness, and healthcare system resilience. These experiences are designed to deepen fellows' impact in emergency medicine by fostering innovative, interdisciplinary solutions that align with their professional goals and the fellowship's mission.
Capstone Project
Fellows will complete a capstone project (e.g., research, quality improvement, or scholarly work) that draws together experiences throughout the fellowship to integrate Planetary Health into an aspect of emergency medicine. Fellows will submit work for publication or presentation at conferences, fostering broader dissemination and impact. Examples of such transdisciplinary focus areas could include:
Neuroaesthetics in healthcare to bridge arts, humanities, and environmental health
Healthcare's ecological footprint, including facilities operations, supply chain management, and waste stream reduction
Resilience modeling, encompassing the built environment, organizational dynamics, and provider well-being
Participation in Convenings
Fellows will gain exposure to and participate in national and international event(s) to be determined based on funding and scheduling availability. Examples include:
UNCOP Climate and Biodiversity Summits
Planetary Health Annual Meeting
CleanMed Conference
World Association for Disaster Emergency Medicine
Medical Consortium on Climate and Health Annual Meeting
JHIPH transdisciplinary meetings and summits, including events hosted at the Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C.
Clinical Excellence
Fellows will work 800 hours annually as a faculty-level emergency physician, providing direct patient care while identifying and implementing opportunities to incorporate Planetary Health practices into real-time clinical settings.
Prerequisites:
Applicants must be board-eligible or board-certified graduates of an ACGME-accredited Emergency Medicine residency or an ABEM-approved combined program.
Prior Experience:
A foundational understanding of Planetary Health principles and their application to clinical medicine or healthcare operational practices is required.
