We advocate for medical school curriculum reform to include the intersection of climate change, health, and health care delivery so we are prepared to care for our patients and build resilient health systems in the face of a changing climate. We work with medical schools to create standardized core competencies for a climate-health curriculum.
- Check out our new 2023-2024 Guide to Climate and Health Curriculum Reform in Medical Schools, created to help medical students across the country advocate for and design climate curricula for their schools.
