Launch of Planetary Health education tools for Family Medicine Residents and Teachers

23 April 2025

Planetary Health for Family Medicine Residents and Teachers

As we celebrate Earth Day on April 22, we invite everyone to learn more about planetary health.  Take a moment to consider the health impacts you may have seen, heard about, or personally experienced, from climate change.  As the environment continues to change around us, physicians will be at the forefront of witnessing and managing the human costs of environmental degradation. We invite you all to take a moment to go through these learning materials and invite any feedback you may have.

This work was generously supported by the Education Development Fund from Temerty Faculty of Medicine and the DFCM.
