Targeting the gap of planetary health education in medical teaching: A student-led initiative develops the course “Klima-LIMETTE” on climate change and health using simulated patients
Health-relevant climate information can be presented practically and theoretically in medical education. This course acts as a best-practice example of Planetary Health Education in medical teaching through interdisciplinary cooperation. The course is now implemented in the curriculum and jointly organized by four complementary institutes within the University of Münster.
