College Station, Texas GHRC — For Dr. Aaron Hultgren, the wake-up call was Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when the young emergency physician returned from an overseas trip and found his hospital without power, its doors closed to the public.
Dr. Lakshmi Balasubramanian, an oncologist in Austin, Texas, signed up to study climate medicine after the death of a patient who was trapped in her home during a freak winter storm two years ago.
Dr. Paul Charlton, a physician with the Indian Health Service in northwest New Mexico, was motivated by 2023’s summer heat wave, when temperatures cracked 100 degrees Fahrenheit for nearly a week straight in July, setting all-time records.
Hultgren, Charlton and Balasubramanian traded these stories in early November as they gathered in College Station, Texas, midway through a first-of-its-kind diploma program that will mint them as certified experts in “climate medicine.” The course is the brainchild of Dr. Jay Lemery, director of the Climate and Health Program at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
“This is our first foray into training a climate-savvy health care workforce,” Lemery said. “We need credible, knowledgeable and effective leaders, and we want to send a message to clinicians that these are critically important skills for mitigating climate-driven health effects.”
Since 2019, the number of US medical schools requiring coursework on the effects of climate change has more than doubled. Universities and public health graduate programs offer majors and concentrations, but the Colorado diploma program goes a step further and aims to turn working medical professionals into leading experts on climate and health.
“It’s specifically designed for working clinicians who are seeking a ‘heavyweight’ credential,” said Lemery, an emergency physician by training. “We wanted to build a program that has real gravitas.”

Climate medicine?
Oh, I remember. That class is right after “Flat Earth Theory”. Both are taught in the highly regarded DEI section of Wazammata U.

A heat wave with 100 degree temperatures. A hurricane. The most common occurrences. I question whether these are actual people. I bet they don’t even exist, a fiction on which to base an article that was inspired during a pot smoking session.
Hey! What’s up “Doc”? If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes.
Good question. Too much AI and too many lies.
Take my course for $6000. If the patient is hot, prescribe a fan. If they are cold, prescribe a blanket. Here’s your certificate.
“...returned from an overseas trip and found his hospital without power, ...”
Is this from a grid dependent on renewables ?
Man made climate/weather change is real ... only it’s caused by men/women/other at NASA, NOAA and the Air Force Geo-engineering and HAARPing those changes.
Lol, there’s no such thing as “climate medicine”.
Shouldn't that be "during a freak winter CLIMATE event?"
Exactly!
They need to stitch up that hole in the ozone layer, stat!
***physician returned from an overseas trip and found his hospital without power,*** WHAT? They don’t have emergency standby generators as all hospitals I have seen have?
***when temperatures cracked 100 degrees Fahrenheit for nearly a week straight in July, **** What? When I lived In Farmington NM in 1956 and 1973-1977 the summer temps were constantly above 100 degrees! And in SE New Mexico 1959-1962 always over 100 in summer! It was so hot I freckled while my brother blistered.
***after the death of a patient who was trapped in her home during a freak winter storm two years ago. *** Where in Texas? The NW corner gets massive snow while the South around Austin stays fairly clear!
What a bunch of horse hockey. Good luck to those whose physicians are leaving practice for one reason or another. The new crop of physicians seem more concerned with being SJW than healing the sick.
Dr. Lakshmi Balasubramanian?
Allll righty then...
How about we refer to him as Dr. Bob?
Climate witch doctors for sure. A cult needs a shaman or two
