Can interprofessional education that embeds One Health be an effective platform for climate change education in veterinary and medical curricula?

Climate change has been recognized as a significant public health threat, and education is needed to allow health professionals to better care for their patients affected by climate-related conditions. Medical students concerned about their lack of preparedness to respond to its effects on patient health, created the Planetary Health Report Card, calling for the inclusion of planetary health education into curricula. Veterinary students similarly express their lack of readiness in this area for practice. In alignment with the United Nations, the American Medical Association (AMA) and AVMA, promulgate educators' development of climate education to prepare graduates for future practice. Implementing interprofessional education is a critical paradigm for closing the gaps on climate education in these curricula. Incorporating One Health related competencies into an interprofessional education curriculum would prepare future graduates to effectively respond to this threat.
