Concept and implementation of the longitudinal mosaic curriculum planetary health at the Faculty of Medicine in Wurzburg, Germany.

ABSTRACT:

Background of the project

Stakeholders in healthcare and science increasingly demand the rapid integration of teaching content on planetary health (PIH) into the curricula of all the healthcare professions. In medical education, such topics are currently only covered inadequately and are mostly limited to elective courses.

Why was the project initiated?

In order to reach all medical students in the sense of a learning spiral and promote an interdisciplinary understanding of planetary health, a longitudinal mosaic curriculum is being developed that introduces aspects of planetary health throughout the entire course of study. We share the first experiences of the start of this project as an example to inspire similar activities elsewhere.
