Caleb Dresser is a practicing emergency physician whose work focuses on two key questions: First, what does climate change mean for our healthcare systems and the patients we serve? And second, what can we do to address this situation? Answering these questions has meant building a mixed-methods portfolio that includes developing and testing resources for clinicians and administrators, analyzing operational and medical records data, and using spatial methods to understand risk to healthcare facilities.

Caleb holds a degree in Medicine from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and in Public Health from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
