A Harvard Medical School committee voted last month to embed climate change into the school’s curriculum.
The new climate change curriculum will examine the impact of climate change on health and health inequality, applications of these impacts to clinical care, and the role of physicians and health institutions in arriving at climate solutions.
Climate change’s negative health effects include the increased spread of infectious diseases, “heat-related harm” during extreme weather events, and lung disease due to pollution, according to HMS student Julia R. Malits.
The curriculum change aims to integrate climate change themes throughout students’ medical school education rather than creating new courses specifically around climate change.
“We framed it not as just adding a ton more, but rather enriching the content that’s already there,” said HMS student Natalie M. Baker. “Just adding small points here and there, an extra sentence here to make the connection for people.”
Caleb J. Dresser, a Climate and Human Health fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, said students and faculty have been pushing to incorporate climate change into the HMS curriculum for years.
“This is an ongoing process,” he said. “It’s been developing for years, as more and more medical students and faculty members have started to engage with this issue and to see it as a really important context in which we are all practicing medicine.”
HMS student Madeleine C. Kline said though medical education remains outside of her core passions, the potential for enhanced patient care has motivated her to push to modify the curriculum.
“Every student who comes through the Medical School will leave with an understanding of what climate change is and what it means for their patients,” she said. “I think it is going to mean a lot for their patients.”

More off topic, filler product being mixed into the already full medical curriculum, diluting the quality of the finished product.
Worthless degree
If the normal people don’t begin the process of removing these vile, evil, liberal filth entrnched within every bureaucracy and institution, we are beyond screwed...
Medical school has become an oxymoron.
He said they had the usual med school subjects plus Marxist theory.
I thought that was hard to believe, but, amusing.
Now we have the same lies and Marxist lies and garbage in our med schools.
Basically how white people give poor care to nonwhites, and climate studies, where white people and their selfish activities spoil the environment for the virtuous nonwhites on earth.
The injustices by whites can never be repaired or amended, but, with loads of money from whites and total surrender to nonwhites, things can be made better.
Licensed physicians murder over 900,000 innocent each defenseless babies each year.
Glad to see Harvard Medical School again pretending to have any moral standards.
Is HMS her majesty’s service?
Seriously, this is ridiculous.
I want to move to an all white country so non whites don’t have to suffer from my hate.
Anyone else?…
they no longer swear the Hippocratic Oath.
Instead, they swear allegiance to the State and Biden.
Worse, HMS “professors” dare to purport
they can remote-view babies in utero
to determine which innocents need their breasts
or penis removed after delivery.
JUST TEACH MEDICINE—NOT ideology!!!!
“Climate change” is just that—ideology!!!!
There are so many new things coming out of cell and molecular biology, genetics and genomics, etc. that there is no room in the medical curriculum for woke nonsense!! And patient care must be at the center of everything!!!!
Pretty much.
Our healthcare system is toast, now, with these evil tyrants redirecting and rewriting what actual science and healthcare are.
:-(
My god, it is just weather. Hot days make you sweat, cold days make you shiver, and sunshine can give you a sunburn. Give me my “medical” doctorate Hahvahd.
Another facet of American greatness utterly destroyed, by this regime.
Med school started going Left years ago....just was under the radar until the Covid crap. I really worry that effing Engineering is going that way now. Think about it. ENGINEERING!
Utter insanity.
How about the impact of Chinese Bio-weapons? Or the impact of the CDC ok-ing an experimental vaccine once thought too dangerous to give to gay men in study hoping to 'cure aids'??
Son, it is obviously global warming.
Hahvud was founded as a religious school. It’s just returning to its’ roots, except now the theology is that of Universal Climate Change, with a minor in neo-Malthusianism.
In the passed, I worked under a couple of Harvard trained doctors. Not impressed.
