Teaching Climate and Health
We develop and evaluate curricula that train health professionals to identify and address the health impacts of climate change in their patients.
Our research includes:
- Students report major success of new climate and health curriculum at Harvard Medical School
A new curriculum at Harvard Medical School (HMS) on climate change, environment, and health significantly improved medical students knowledge of climate-related health and equity topics. - Teaching community organizing principles to health professionals significantly increases their capacity to take climate action
Community organizing skills empower a new movement of physicians advancing climate solutions - The first residency curriculum to better prepare doctors for climate change
Curriculum, linked to ACGME core competencies, teaches residents how climate change affects health, clinical care, and health care delivery.
Preparing the next generation of doctors
Health professionals are on the frontlines of climate change. Our director of policy and education, Dr. Gaurab Basu, describes how to ensure they are prepared.
