Join us for an engaging session on the integration of climate health and sustainability content in medical education. We will trace the evolution of the climate and health movement within medical training over the past decade and explore strategies for embedding this content in undergraduate and graduate curricula. This session will also spotlight the transformative role of trainee advocacy in driving curricular change and shaping a more sustainable future for healthcare.
