According to The Lancet Countdown on health and climate change's 2018 report, the blue line on
the graph represents the variation in the number of people experiencing heatwave exposure
events per year from 2010 to 2017. This is in comparison to the average number of people
exposed to heatwaves between 1986 and 2005, represented by the red line.

REFLECTIONS:
Despite some medical schools introducing courses on sustainability and climate change inresponse to the growing awareness of the issue, such initiatives remain scarce. An international
survey conducted among 160 institutional members of the Global Consortium on Climate
Change and Health Education revealed that only 15 respondents were medical schools. In theUnited States, the topic of "climate change" is notably absent from the Association of American
Medical College's (AAMC's) Curriculum Inventory, which lists required and elective courses.
Similarly, as of 2015, no Canadian medical school offered education on climate change, and by
2019, only three out of seventeen medical schools in Canada had appropriate climate and healtheducation. This lack of incorporation of climate-related topics in medical education contradicts
the strong advocacy for climate action from medical professional societies.

Why climate change should be integrated into
medical education for three reasons?
I.

To equip students with the necessary skills forclinical practice in an evolving world impacted byclimate change.
II. To enhance public health awareness and ecohealth literacy.
III. To enhance current learning experiences andreinforce essential graduate qualities.
