Climate Change: The Intersection of Disaster Medicine and Public Health with Climate and Health

December 3, 2021

Live Virtual Conference | Powered By Whova

What can health care professionals do to promote climate change more effectively to improve morbidity/mortality in the future?
How can they be better prepared?
How do different medical professions and specialties respond?

The conference goal is to explore how we better train, educate and prepare the health workforce to more effectively deal with the broad range of disaster events in the face of the continuing detrimental changes in human ecology secondary to the impacts of climate change. This meeting is meant to provide a broad overview of the landscape and will be followed by a series of webinars in 2021 that will focus on individual events such as Hurricane, Floods, Famine, Pandemic, etc.
