Dr. Natterson-Horowitz is a member of the advisory committee for the newly-launched Medicine for a Changing Planet collection of case studies, a collaboration between Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health and University of Washington Center for One Health Research.
Project lead Peter Rabinowitz, who is Director of the University of Washington Center for One Health Research, expresses the goal of the project as follows:
“We want the skills emphasized in the Medicine for a Changing Planet case studies to empower healthcare providers to play a more active role in the response to global environmental change. We encourage health professionals to focus on their role as ‘disease detectives,’ identifying ‘sentinel’ cases of environmentally induced disease, and steps that they could take to manage such cases, both in and beyond the clinic.”
