The consequences of climate change directly affect mental and physical health and must be taught in medical school curricula, claim British students. In the UK, as in France, the integration of environmental considerations in university programs across all fields of study still leaves much to be desired.
British medical students are stressing the need to better understand the effects of the climate crisis, as they have a direct impact on our mental and physical health, whether it is exposure to air pollution, the increased frequency of heat waves or the growing phenomenon of eco-anxiety.
