Most likely because medical schools deal with actual science, not cultish beliefs
Despite Climate Change Health Threats, Few Medical Schools Teach It
Heat, mosquito-borne diseases and air pollution are medical issues that should be viewed through a climate lens, advocates say
Despite the threat climate change poses to human health, very few medical schools have made it a part of their coursework.
The International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations recently conducted a survey of medical schools in 118 countries. Of the medical schools reviewed, the IFMSA found 15.9% have made climate change a part of their curricula.
Dr. Renee Salas, an emergency room doctor and climate change researcher at the Harvard Global Health Institute, said she was not surprised by the results. Through her work at Harvard, she has tried to incorporate climate change into the teachings of U.S. medical schools.
Salas said the survey shows there is an opportunity to train the next generation of physicians so they have the skills necessary to practice in a future where global warming affects every aspect of their jobs.
“Climate change is truly that threat multiplier,” she said. “It impacts, in my opinion, every facet of how we practice medicine.”
Even if the Modern Warm Period was mostly/solely caused by the actions of Mankind (it’s not), doctors already learn about things like heat stroke and diseases and such: there’s not need for them to be indoctrinated into learning about weather and cult doctrine.
Salas echoed that idea, saying that schools can add climate change to lessons of asthma and other conditions.
“My approach is all they need to do is add a climate lens to what they’re already teaching,” she said.
This solution has its own hurdle, as there are few climate experts currently in the medical field. That’s why Salas says medical schools need to focus on collaboration and developing electronic curriculum that could be used to more easily spread growing knowledge from existing experts.
Looks like the Cult of Climastrology is attempting to take over the medical field.
