Educational Challenge There is an urgent need for innovations in planetary health medical education. Physicians must be prepared to provide high-value, low-carbon healthcare for patients increasingly impacted by the health consequences of climate change.Proposed Solution The Climate Wise slides, an evidence-based, open-access pedagogical tool that provides didactic planetary health medical education organized by medical subspecialty, was developed and evaluated by a virtual lecture session that presented a subset of the slides to N = 75 Canadian medical students. Each participant completed a questionnaire before and after the Climate Wise virtual lecture that included multiple choice questions to assess their planetary health knowledge and a rating of their interest in including the Climate Wise slides in medical curricula.Lessons Learned Participants showed significantly improved planetary health knowledge scores (p < 0.0001) and increased interest in including the Climate Wise slides in medical curricula (p < 0.001) after the virtual Climate Wise lecture session. This study demonstrates that the Climate Wise slides are a valuable pedagogical tool to advance planetary health medical education.Next Steps Future directions include evaluating faculty perspectives on the Climate Wise slides, learning outcomes of the slides implemented longitudinally in medical curricula, and developing higher-order problem-based and simulation-based planetary health medical education resources. ...
