Healthy Choices, Healthy Planet: Climate Awareness in Health Education

This roundtable aims to explore innovative ways to integrate climate awareness into the health education curricula across various disciplines (public health, medicine, nursing, physician assistant studies, etc). By incorporating climate awareness into applied practice learning experiences and student research projects, this initiative seeks to enhance the capacity of future health professionals to seek synergistic solutions to population health and climate challenges.

The discussion will focus on experiential learning partnerships with community organizations and the potential for these projects as catalysts for broader societal shifts towards sustainable practices, emphasizing the dual benefits of climate-informed health practice—improved health and environmental sustainability
