 “Systems, Not Silos: An Interprofessional Framework for Climate Health Education”

Tuesday, September 1 1:00pm

IFH 5th Floor Conference Room, 112 Paterson Street, New Brunswick & Via Zoom https://go.rutgers.edu/osch642i

Climate change is arguably medicine’s clearest case study in systems-based practice and multidisciplinary engagement. This talk maps a practical, portable framework for embedding climate health across health professions curricula, built through work with the Climate Health Curriculum Tool (CHCT) and grounded in real student projects spanning quality improvement, supply chain analysis, patient communication, and curriculum design.

Drawing on lessons from an active collaboration with the School of Pharmacy, the session offers students, educators, and researchers concrete entry points for getting involved—whether that means proposing a project, adapting a course, or building the next interprofessional research collaboration.
