Abstract:
The medical profession plays a crucial role in tackling the health impacts of climate change and in promoting a green transition of society and the health sector. Despite this, opportunities for action are still quite unknown within the profession, and no mandatory education is required in interns' or residents' education. Medical schools, on the contrary, both in Sweden (due to legislation) and abroad, have started integrating climate, health and sustainable healthcare into the medical curricula in line with international educational recommendations, thus preparing future generation physicians for the task. The following overview presents concrete and relevant pedagogical initiatives currently used in Sweden and abroad to enhance education and clinical implementation of climate medicine and sustainable healthcare for medical students and physicians. Furthermore, the significance of strong leadership and mandatory education is emphasized.
