The WCM Environmental Health Collective (ECO) student group worked on collecting information about planetary health content in our medical school and created the first Planetary Health Report Card for WCM during the academic year 2023-2024.
Planetary Health Report Card is a metric-based tool for evaluating and improving planetary health content in health professional schools. At each participating institution, student-led, faculty-mentored teams fill out the report card, identifying opportunities for improvement and reaching out to relevant staff and faculty along the way.
