Description from DukeHub
Climate change is the greatest threat to human health in the 21st century. This course will build upon the climate change and health thread in the MS 1 and 2 years, providing expanded learning for students. The course will use thematic lectures, case-based discussion, and workshop modalities. Employing a climate-informed lens, emphasis will be on practical, applicable skills including patient-centered clinical care, opportunities for sustainable practices, and opportunities for students to explore areas of their particular interest.
