Abstract

Objective: Climate change is a key threat to human health worldwide. Accordingly, medical education should prepare future physicians for climate-associated hazards and corresponding professional challenges. Currently, this is not yet implemented across the board. The aim of this review is to present (I) the knowledge and (II) the attitudes of medical students and physicians towards climate change and (III) the expectations of medical education as formulated by medical students. In addition, the available literature will be used to look at (IV) global teaching activities, (V) international learning goals and learning goal catalogues, and (VI) applied teaching methods and formats. This review should simplify and, considering the urgency of the topic, accelerate the design of future teaching activities.

Methodology: The paper is based on a selective literature search supplemented by a topic-guided internet search.

Results: Knowledge about the causes and concrete health consequences of climate change seems to be incomplete. The majority of medical students consider human health to be at risk from climate change and the health sector to be inadequately prepared. A majority of surveyed medical students would like to see teaching about climate change. It is evident that internationally, teaching projects on climate change and climate health, as well as topic-specific learning objectives and learning goal catalogues, have been developed and integrated into medical education.

Conclusion: There is a need for and acceptance of teaching climate change in the medical curriculum. This literature review can assist in the development and implementation of new teaching formats.

国际医学教育中的气候变化与健康——述评。
目标:气候变化是对全世界人类健康的主要威胁。因此,医学教育应该培养未来的医生应对气候相关的危害和相应的专业挑战。目前,这还没有全面实施。本综述的目的是呈现(I)对气候变化的知识和(II)医学生和医生的态度,以及(III)医学生对医学教育的期望。此外,现有文献将用于研究(IV)全球教学活动,(V)国际学习目标和学习目标目录,以及(VI)应用的教学方法和格式。这种回顾应该简化,并考虑到主题的紧迫性,加快未来教学活动的设计。方法:本文基于选择性文献检索,辅以主题导向的互联网搜索。结果:关于气候变化的原因和具体健康后果的知识似乎是不完整的。大多数医学生认为,人类健康受到气候变化的威胁,卫生部门准备不足。大多数接受调查的医学生希望看到有关气候变化的教学。显然,在国际上,已经制定了关于气候变化和气候健康的教学项目,以及专题学习目标和学习目标目录,并将其纳入医学教育。结论:气候变化教学在医学课程中有其必要性和可接受性。这篇文献综述可以帮助开发和实施新的教学形式。

期刊介绍: GMS Journal for Medical Education (GMS J Med Educ) – formerly GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung – publishes scientific articles on all aspects of undergraduate and graduate education in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and other health professions. Research and review articles, project reports, short communications as well as discussion papers and comments may be submitted. There is a special focus on empirical studies which are methodologically sound and lead to results that are relevant beyond the respective institution, profession or country. Please feel free to submit qualitative as well as quantitative studies. We especially welcome submissions by students. It is the mission of GMS Journal for Medical Education to contribute to furthering scientific knowledge in the German-speaking countries as well as internationally and thus to foster the improvement of teaching and learning and to build an evidence base for undergraduate and graduate education. To this end, the journal has set up an editorial board with international experts. All manuscripts submitted are subjected to a clearly structured peer review process. All articles are published bilingually in English and German and are available with unrestricted open access. Thus, GMS Journal for Medical Education is available to a broad international readership. GMS Journal for Medical Education is published as an unrestricted open access journal with at least four issues per year. In addition, special issues on current topics in medical education research are also published. Until 2015 the journal was published under its German name GMS Zeitschrift für Medizinische Ausbildung. By changing its name to GMS Journal for Medical Education, we wish to underline our international mission.
