Use Your Voice to Bring Climate & Health to Grand Rounds
Healthcare providers are a powerful influence and source of information for not only their patients and the communities they serve, but also for their colleagues and other health professionals. Using the classic case-based structure of grand rounds, health professionals can teach prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of medical conditions, including those related to environmental health and climate change.
Planning a grand rounds presentation may sound intimidating, but that’s where the ClimateRx Climate & Health Grand Rounds Toolkit comes in. The Toolkit is built for health professionals to start with what they know and care about when it comes to climate and health and build their grand rounds from there. This resource combines structure and flexibility so you are equipped to bring climate change to your colleagues while focusing on your area of expertise. Use the provided sample outline and be sure to include climate and health solutions to engage your audience and drive your points home. The case examples in the Toolkit demonstrate individuals, organizations, and communities at the intersection of climate and health. Start with these examples, tailor them as needed, or highlight cases from your own practice and experience.
Climate change impacts all aspects of health, however health professionals have an important opportunity to engage their colleagues in actions and promote solutions.
