BACKGROUND
There has been increasing interest in climate change among healthcare professionals, but it is unclear to what extent resources on this topic are available to students and clinicians in New England.
METHODS
Structured review of publicly available information regarding climate change and health activity at schools of medicine, public health, and physician assistant studies and in state medical and physician assistant societies in New England.
RESULTS
Of 39 programs reviewed, 18 (46%) had at least one climate-related initiative. Six universities accounted for 87% of climate change and health initiatives in the region. Three out of 12 state professional associations had committees or position statements addressing climate change.
CONCLUSION
There is substantial activity related to climate change and health in New England, but it is concentrated in a small number of locations. Opportunities exist to improve access to education on this topic and increase involvement of health professional associations.
背景
医疗保健专业人员对气候变化的兴趣日益浓厚，但尚不清楚新英格兰地区的学生和临床医生可以在多大程度上获得有关这一主题的资源。
方法
对新英格兰地区医学院、公共卫生学院和医师助理研究机构以及州医学和医师助理协会中有关气候变化和健康活动的公开信息进行了结构化审查。
结果
在所审查的 39 个项目中，有 18 个（46%）至少有一个与气候相关的倡议。六所大学占该地区气候变化和健康倡议的 87%。12 个州专业协会中有 3 个有委员会或立场声明来处理气候变化问题。
结论
新英格兰地区与气候变化和健康相关的活动很多，但集中在少数几个地方。有机会改善获取有关这一主题的教育的机会，并增加卫生专业协会的参与。
