This week on the Faculty Factory Podcast, Heather Whelan, MD examines the health risks of a changing world and their implications for medical education and academic medicine.
Dr. Whelan serves as Director, Climate Ambassador Program, UC Center for Climate, Health and Equity with University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
“Healthcare professionals are among the most trusted people to talk about climate change with the public. We can take advantage of that opportunity to educate and inquire about how climate change is affecting people,” Dr. Whelan said at the end of the interview.
