Choosing Wisely and Climate Action

18 Oct 2023

12:00pm ET - 1:00pm ET

The health care sector is responsible for nearly 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As every unnecessary test, treatment, and procedure produces CO2 emissions or material waste, reducing overuse is an opportunity to make a positive contribution towards the health of our patients and the planet.

Join us on October 18 at 12 p.m. ET for Choosing Wisely Talks to discuss environmental co-benefits of doing Choosing Wisely. Speakers will share real-world examples of how tackling waste and harm can have broader societal benefits.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Karina Spoyalo, General Surgery Resident, University of British Columbia
  • Dr. Mathilde Gaudreau Simard, General Internist, The Ottawa Hospital
