Abstract

Climate change poses numerous near and long-term challenges for our society, and the human health consequences are increasingly recognized as unprecedented. Responding to these health hazards requires a healthcare workforce composed of climate-informed clinicians. As trusted messengers, physicians play a vital role in informing and preparing the public for health impacts of climate change. We describe an evolving graduate medical education fellowship for physicians from all specialties capable of training leaders in this field. Our program pairs fellows with federal and non-governmental partners to provide expertise in climate policy and empower them to be change agents. The accelerating response to climate change from the federal government coupled with an increased recognition of the impacts of climate hazards on health demands a climate-informed clinical workforce. The expansion of this fellowship to accommodate trainees from multiple specialties and its innovative structure leveraging local and national partnerships sets a standard for how similar programs can be developed in addressing the greatest public health threat and opportunity of the century.

18. When Climate Change Shows Up in the Exam Room.

Subjects

Abstract

Climate change is considered one of the greatest threats to humanity and the most significant global public health emergency of our lifetime. Millions of people from throughout the globe suffer and die each year from degraded air quality, extreme heat, water and vector-borne diseases as well as the mental health effects of climate change. Because clinicians are considered one of the most trusted sources of climate information, they have a unique opportunity to communicate the many health-related effects of climate change to their patients. It is important for clinicians to understand the most beneficial techniques to use when communicating with patients who may need more information regarding climate change and extreme weather events. These include 1) meeting patients where they are, 2) providing patient education, and 3) telling authentic stories. Developing and delivering effective communication strategies to our patients to prevent and prepare for climate-related health issues are paramount- if we are to make meaningful progress., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: None., (© Copyright 2023 by the American Board of Family Medicine.)
