Reducing Clinical Waste at UCSF: Learning and Networking

This event is your chance to learn about innovative strategies for reducing clinical waste at UCSF. Join us at the UCSF Kalmanovitz Library - Lange Room for an afternoon of insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities.

The event will kick off with a keynote presentation from Dr. Seema Gandhi, Professor of Anesthesiology and Medical Director of Sustainability at UCSF Health. Dr. Gandhi, a pioneer in sustainability action, has conducted ground-breaking work to engage colleagues to eliminate desflurane, an anesthetic gas with the highest global warming potential. She has also spearheaded a multidisciplinary team to decrease direct emissions of greenhouse gases from the operating room.

Following the keynote speech will be a poster/networking session with representatives from the UCSF Sustainability Office; the UC Center for Climate, Health, and Equity; and UCSF Health , as well as UCSF practitioners working to reduce waste in emergency rooms, operating rooms, dental clinics, medication transfer processes, and the Birthing Center.

Because capacity is limited, please RSVP on the EventBrite page to secure your space. Refreshments will be provided. Join us for an exciting afternoon of building connections and sharing knowledge!

This event is organized by the UCSF Academic Senate Committee on Sustainability with financial support from the UCSF Office of Sustainability.
