Description

Climate change is a leading public health concern of the 21st century and has implications for population health globally. Our changing climate is exacerbating health conditions with both acute consequences, as well as chronic health conditions including inflammatory disease. Physicians need to understand the health impacts of climate change and must be ready to practice in a climate-changed world to deliver optimal patient care. This CME serves as an introduction to Climate Change and health and begin training on these objectives as it related to autoimmune diseases and Osteopathic Medicine.
