Why Climate Change Should Be Part of Veterinary Education: Lessons from Human Medicine
In this episode of the Veterinary Viewfinder, co-hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and registered veterinary technician Beckie Mosser tackle a critical but often overlooked issue in the veterinary profession: climate change.
As human medical schools in the United States and worldwide begin to integrate climate change into their curricula, the veterinary field needs to catch up. Dr. Ward and Beckie discuss the growing importance of addressing climate change within veterinary education and continuing professional development.
They explore how environmental changes are already impacting animal health and what the veterinary community can learn from advancements in human medicine. This conversation challenges veterinary professionals to consider the future of our profession - and planet - in a rapidly changing world and the steps needed to prepare for tomorrow's health challenges.
Join us this week to understand why climate change should be on every veterinary agenda and how to advocate for its inclusion in veterinary curricula.
