About
Dr. Jodi D. Sherman is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare delivery and environmental sustainability. Her key research areas include the environmental impact of medical procedures, life cycle assessment in healthcare, and the health consequences of climate change. Dr. Sherman’s landmark 2014 study, "Environmental Impacts of Surgical Procedures," with 392 citations, was among the first to quantify the carbon footprint of a common surgery—hysterectomy—revealing that a single procedure can generate as much greenhouse gas as driving over 2,000 miles. This work fundamentally shifted how the medical community views its environmental responsibility. Her more recent 2025 paper, "Urology on a changing planet," with 16 citations, explores the bidirectional relationship between climate change and urological disease, highlighting how environmental degradation directly impacts patient health. Dr. Sherman’s contributions have established her as a leading voice in sustainable healthcare, influencing policy, clinical practice, and medical education. Her work empowers clinicians and researchers to reduce the healthcare sector’s ecological footprint while improving patient outcomes.
