Most physicians do not see, or learn to see, nuclear war threat mitigation as within the scope of their professional duties. This commentary on a case argues there are 2 reasons why physicians, in particular, should draw on their unique training and expertise in medicine to help avert nuclear war: the risk of nuclear war and therefore the risk of catastrophic community, domestic, and global health consequences is presently high; and physicians today can draw on a strong history of past physicians' nuclear disarmament advocacy strategies. This commentary concludes by canvassing how those past strategies can best be applied today.
