Adapting the Planetary Health Report Card for Graduate Medical Training Programs.

ABSTRACT: Background Leading medical organizations recognize climate change as an urgent threat to public health and social justice. Medical students created the Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) to evaluate and spur climate action in medical schools. Graduate medical trainees lack a similar tool to evaluate and improve their training programs and institutions. Objective To adapt the PHRC to graduate medical education (GME) contexts and report preliminary validity evidence. Methods In 2023, based on literature review, we adapted the 2022 undergraduate medical PHRC metrics on curriculum and sustainability. We modified keywords in all PHRC domains to apply to GME. We recruited participants with expertise in planetary health, sustainability, and health equity affiliated with GME.
