Join us for the Fall 2025 IAMSE Webcast Audio Series!
Climate emergencies have the potential to reshape disease patterns, disrupt health‑care systems, and widen health inequities. Recognizing this context, the Fall 2025 IAMSE Webinar Series, Environmental Disasters Affecting Health Professions Education...Surviving the Storm and After, brings together educators and clinicians who have navigated extreme weather, rebuilt disrupted institutions, and embedded planetary‑health competencies into educational programs. Across five sessions, the series will examine how those in health professions education can prepare learners to care for patients and the planet amid accelerating environmental change. Join us this Fall to explore actionable strategies, share emerging scholarship, and learn how to educate future clinicians who can diagnose, manage, and prevent the health consequences of environmental disasters.
