Lightning Talk as part of the Climate Justice Symposium for Transforming Education (chesc.org/cjste/). As the climate crisis intensifies, it is increasingly important for medical students to learn to incorporate its associated health effects on their list of differential diagnoses. They must also recognize the inequitable distribution of health effects that resonate throughout communities and systems. Currently, however, medical education does not sufficiently cover climate and health topics. It must be reformed to teach medical students about these topics and present them within an interdisciplinary framework that addresses sources, effects, solutions, and justice. This talk will describe key thematic components of climate and health education (CHE) for medical students, their relevance for clinical practice and public health, and pedagogical approaches for curriculum implementation. In addition, it will highlight useful frameworks for teaching students about health inequities related to climate change and preparing them to advocate for climate justice. If we expect that physicians address the health effects of the climate crisis in their clinical practice and beyond, medical schools are ideally positioned to drive this transformation by integrating CHE.
