Join UofL’s Center for Integrative Environmental Health Science and the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology for the next EHS seminar with Rebecca Pass Philipsborn.
Dr. Philipsborn is an Associate Professor and General Pediatrician at Emory University School of Medicine and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, jointly appointed at Rollins School of Public Health in Environmental Health.
She focuses on the interface of climate change and clinical care in her research and teaching. She is a co-investigator on Emory’s Climate and Health Actionable Research and Translation (CHART) Center and former Scholars Director of the Pediatric and Reproductive Health Scholars-Southeastern Exposures and Disparities program, both funded by NIH.
She directs the Pediatrics Clerkship and the Climate Change and Environmental Health Thread for medical students and was honored to be selected to the 2024 cohort of Macy Faculty Scholars by the Josiah Macy, Jr Foundation.
She aspires to train future leaders to recognize environmental influences on health, embrace interprofessional solutions, and envision healthcare transformation towards enhanced disease prevention and greener care delivery.
Outside of Emory, Dr. Philipsborn serves on the executive committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Environmental Health and Climate Change and the Southeast Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU).
She completed medical school and residency training at Emory, holds an MPA in Environmental Science and Policy from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, and an AB in English from Princeton University.
