Doctors, students and other groups want medical schools to teach the health impact of climate change, and a small but growing number are adding it to their curriculum

The movement, recently backed by the American Medical Association, is showing emerging signs of impact. At the University of Minnesota, medical, nursing and pharmacy schools, among others, have added content or tweaked existing classes to incorporate climate-related topics.

Ok, if you're THIS worried about climate change, you really need to find God. You're trying to replace Him with the environment and global warming is your apocalypse story. Find God and you'll realize that we're living in the Matrix and you're focused on the wrong stuff.

As if medical schools don't have enough to teach. Things the faculty actually knows about.

Lol

ffs

How about for the possibility of asteroids hitting the earth?

Do you not think these students are smart enough to see this is political

So Let's All Save Fruit Seeds and Grow Fruit Trees Everywhere Literally and Figuratively Along with School Kids to Sensitize Genext & Grow Globally 46 Billion Fruit Trees/YR With Seeds.! SEQUESTER NOURISH ENRICH & ENLIGHTEN.!! SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PROGRAM.! IT'S NEEDED & DOABLE.!

They should! Climate changes every season, oh wait, that’s weather😂😂😂

What a stupid fucken thing climate change That's as good as basket weaving classes.

Doctors, students, and other groups should stick to the knitting.

LOL

What's there to teach except maybe how to deal with the stress from listening to MSM's constant drum beat of false doom and gloom claims the world will end by 2030. What direct links from increased CO2 levels exist that affect a person's health and are observable and repeatable?

Doctors, students and other groups: Focus!

and the students bitch about their student loan debt...look what you are paying for.

Why not teach them bedside manner ? no Let's teach them this idiotic crap.

Science died. To even kill that.

How about training black and Hispanic US doctors for cities like Chicago and Baltimore. They haven't even keep diversity, white women are the new bigots in medicine!

Why do Doctors need to learn 'Fake' science?

So, just like public schools drifting farther away from teaching academics, medical schools move away from teaching medicine... go figure.

Are they teaching about the health effects of chemical spraying in geoengineering? Weather manipulation via geoengineering is the cause of climate change.

Don't forget to add team dynamics, leadership, and somehow get some nurses and docs to learn to communicate productively with each other.

PSA: Can WSJ please list those schools so the public can choose doctors from different schools.?

Forget Cancer, Aids,and Ebola...there is only one killer.....

Leftist comes in... Doctor: 'You have climate change obsession syndrome.'

How bout adding nutrition while they're at it?

The propaganda intensifies.

😳😳😳

when will they be pushing to teach homeopathy?

ClimateChange

It’s officially getting hot in URANUS!! Said the doc

Bwahahaha. Good grief.

Who needs disease education when you can charge for worthless climate change misinformation.

Right. Like TheLancet - You're kidding, obviously. climatechange

What’s more stupid than this WalkAway

I might have to incorporate this into my curriculum. They need to learn how this is an ages long ploy by tyrannical governments.

Medical schools should be teaching health impact of food nutrition of which is solely lacking.

It goes without saying that climate change is a fact—it’s like spending a day pondering over the fact that water’s wet. There are many other pressing issues that are poorly covered in medical schools, like nutrition, psychology, and mental health. These issues deserve priority.

Every doctor I ever worked for as a nurse had NO clue about running their business or how to administer insurance claims. That might be a better class to teach than one that does nothing.

If we'll all be dead in a year or so, why bother?

What are symptoms?

And people wonder why college is so expensive. 🤷‍♂️

I’d just prefer my Dr. treat my illness. Geeze

🙄

Me: Dr I'm concerned about an issue with my heart Dr: DO YOU KNOW THE PLANET IS DYING Me: I'm pretty sure it'll outlive me. About my heart... Dr: HOW MANY GUNS ARE IN YOUR HOUSE

How about less pharmaceuticals...and more nutrition 🧐

How about magical incantations, too? Just as real as 'climate change.'

Ginecologists and urology doctors shoud have gender training, so they realise how wrong they are

Great, just what we need. Now our doctors are going to want to run emission test on our cars and ask if we recycle. “We need to do a MRI and a few other tests, but first, can you tell me what your carbon footprint is?”

More like - 2 Doctors, 3 students and 1 secretly funded group wants medical schools to teach the health impact of climate change, and a small but growing number are adding it to their curriculum...There Fixed It For You!!!

What a joke!!

I hope that course is for the psychiatrists, because it’s crazy.

I would prefer the physicians treating me to have spent time on anatomy and physiology......😉😉

medical schools are being pushed BY WHO...to include courses on the impact of climate change on health. The same people who want a non-gender vocabulary? a trans male to compete in women sports?

Do they plan on fighting climate change by over prescribing opioids and killing tens of thousands of Americans?

What about the scandal that is sugar, high carbs and low fat foods!

climate change is a lucrative business

Oh, great! Doctors are coming out dumber than ever and now we are going to teach them fake science.

...I hope this is a joke.

PaulieD55 Train doctors in nutrition

Talk to a real scientist. Just like we cannot move a hurrcane, we cannot to anything about the earth's position in the solar system.

Oh, so propaganda, they want to reach propaganda.

Complete nonsense.

Everyone is the leader of his/her conscience. Conscience transcends the differences between ethnicities, nationalities and religious beliefs. You and I can protect the conscience in our heart, and together we can create an era of love and peace.

What?

The ielts comprehensive passages were all related to climate change. I then thought maybe they are doing it just for a conversation.
