About Us

Overview

Our Program

Cost of Climate Change

Climate change increases disease risk and threatens the infrastructure of the health system.

The Gap

There is a lack of faculty content expertise to develop curricula and the absence of a formal curricular framework.

Our Solution

We provide educators and trainees with evidence-based, expert-reviewed materials to incorporate into each level of health curricula.

About Us

Who We Are

Climate Resources for Health Education (CRHE) is a global student health professional-led initiative housed at the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE) that aims to provide free, publicly accessible, evidence-based resources to accelerate the  incorporation of climate change and planetary health information into educational curricula. Building on cutting edge science, these resources provide the rapid translation of our best science into health practice. These resources are intended to accelerate capacity building among health professionals, individuals and organizations globally that seek to promote and protect health in the 21st century.

Our open-source, peer-reviewed climate and health curriculum is available to health training programs, individuals and organizations around the world. This curriculum integrates climate change and health learning objectives, slide decks, Problem Based Learning (PBL) cases, and Quality Improvement Templates into existing health curricula. Our cases and slides are evidence-based and written by trainees and faculty advisors. All materials are then assessed by expert reviewers to ensure accuracy and high-quality resources.

Our Process

How We Create Content

We create learning objectives with our partners and collaborators for each of the CRHE health topics. Interested contributors create problem based learning (PBL) cases and slides for each health topic using the pre-developed learning objectives.

Contributors

We will group you into teams of up to three writers and a faculty advisor, who will guide content development.

Cases & Slides

Once you receive your team assignment, you will have 6-8 weeks to develop your case or slide deck in accordance with our instructions for authors.

Peer Review

After you submit your materials, we will peer review your submission and may request revisions.

Expert Review

Once Peer Review is completed, we will send your materials to be reviewed by experts in the field to ensure content accuracy.
