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.
气候变化已被公认为对公众健康的重大威胁，需要开展教育，以使卫生专业人员能够更好地照料受气候相关疾病影响的患者。医学生担心自己缺乏应对气候变化对患者健康影响的准备，于是创建了《行星健康成绩单》，呼吁将行星健康教育纳入课程。兽医学生同样表示自己在这方面缺乏从业准备。美国医学协会（AMA）和美国兽医协会（AVMA）与联合国保持一致，倡导教育工作者开展气候教育，使毕业生为未来的实践做好准备。实施跨专业教育是弥合这些课程中气候教育差距的关键模式。将“同一健康”相关能力纳入跨专业教育课程，将使未来的毕业生能够有效应对这一威胁。
