Does Addressing the Intersections between Climate Change and Health/Healthcare in Residency Lead to Practice and/or Attitude Change?

The current trend in climate has been associated with adverse health effects and disruption to healthcare delivery. Recent papers have emphasized the importance of addressing this topic in medical education (medical school and residency) in order to prepare physicians to care for patients in a changing climate. However, most medical schools and residency programs have not incorporated this topic into their curriculum. The goal of this research project was to see if implementing a 5 lecture curriculum on the intersections between climate change and peditric health would be an effective way of addressing this issue in a pediatric residency program.
