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.

A first hand perspective of navigating the Hurricane Helene disaster and it's related disruption on healthcare in the Appalachian region.

This session will focus on the challenges and opportunities that medical schools could face after being severely disrupted by a major weather event. The webinar will cover 1) the immediate post-storm response, 2) the strategic process and timeline of rebuilding, and 3) lessons learned, including planning and preparation for future events.

This session will focus on addressing the critical role of education as a core solution to the climate and health crisis. The session will discuss the role of the health sector in climate action, the practical and evidence-based ways for educating health professionals about and how teach students about the climate crisis and health, and the future directions for education about climate change and health.

This presentation will describe recent developments (2022-2024) and short-term plans for integration of planetary health and sustainainable healthcare into the education of undergraduate medical students at the University of Cape Town Faculty of Health Sciences.

It will reflect on the lessons learnt to date, and will share the presenter's conceptual framework to guide curricular integration of Education for Sustainable Healthcare into faculties of health sciences.
