Two Upcoming Meetings for Health Care Professionals

Two meetings in February 2024 that are of interest to health care professionals are:

1.     The Medical Consortium on Climate & Health annual meeting:

“The Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health and its partners will host the 2024 Annual Meeting: From the Clinic to the Capitol in Arlington, Virginia, and virtually on February 11-12, 2024, with in-person visits to Congress on February 13.

We are excited to be joined by featured speakers Mustafa Santiago Ali, Executive Vice President of Conservation & Justice for the National Wildlife Federation, and Julia Olson, Executive Director and Chief Legal Counsel for Our Children's Trust and one of Time’s 100 Top Influential Climate Leaders.

Participants can also obtain up to 15.75 CME/CE credits.

Learn more and register today.”

2.     The European Climate and Health Responder Course from the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and the Global Consortium for Climate Health Education (GCCHE) is more Eurocentric, but the information may be applicable to other areas as well. It will be possible to access lectures later (but in that case a certificate will not be available) as all GCCHE courses are put on their website for a year.

 “ABOUT

The goal of this course is to act as a flagship initiative to engage and educate the public health, wider health workforce, and other professionals interested in climate change and health to facilitate participation and engagement in policy and advocacy related to climate adaptation and mitigation as well as research that supports decision making across sectors. Participants who attend > 70% of sessions and pass a test at the end will be awarded a certificate in climate and health from ASPHER/GCCHE.
