Program Requirements/Expectations
The Fellowship Program is a year-long program that will run from June 1st 2022 - May 31st 2023. Nurse fellows are paired with expert environmental health nurse mentors who will help guide their journey throughout the program. Additionally, you will join a team of 24 nurses around the country who will be part of the 2022 - 2023 cohort.
As part of the program, nurse fellows are expected to:
- Conduct projects in partnership with a community-based organization to address a community-identified environmental health concern aimed at promoting health equity and building climate resilience.
- Participate in monthly webinars on relevant environmental health topics with an emphasis on environmental justice and health equity, as well as skill building sessions to prepare fellows for their partnership work with community partners.
- Hold at least two educational sessions for fellow health professionals about work and learning in the program.
- Attend two Fellowship convenings where participants build community, learn together, and expand partnerships with mentors and program staff. Fellowship convenings will be held in June 2022 and Spring 2023. The June 2022 convening will be virtual and the Spring 2023 convening will be in-person (dependent on COVID). If an in-person meeting is held, travel and accommodations will be covered by ANHE.
