Initiative for the implementation of planetary health in postgraduate medical training and continuing medical education in Switzerland.

ABSTRACT: The Swiss Medical Association FMH drew up the strategy "Planetary health - Strategy on the courses of action on climate change for the medical profession in Switzerland" in collaboration with the Swiss Institute for Medical Education SIME, the umbrella organisations and students. On 7 October 2021, the strategy was approved by the Swiss Medical Chamber with a budget of over CHF 380,000 (approx € 365,000). The first step in implementation involved setting up an advisory group which will tackle the concrete implementation of the strategy. This article provides an insight into the current state of work on the project with a focus on the measures in the areas of postgraduate medical training and continuing medical education. It is a work in progress.
