Dear Colleague,

Thank you for being part of this important initiative!

The goal of this survey is to gather insights from educators, students, and professionals in the medical field regarding the top priorities for integrating Planetary Health into undergraduate medical education*.

Once we have analyzed the survey results, we will work together to develop recommendations tailored to different audiences.

These recommendations will reflect the key themes and priorities identified through your valuable input. Afterward, we will circulate them to all participants, offering everyone the opportunity to review and, if interested, endorse them. The recommendations will then be shared through targeted channels to build momentum and ensure broad engagement and feedback. Our planned dissemination strategies include:
  • Letters to influential organizations (e.g., AAMC) advocating for the incorporation of Planetary Health curricula.
  • Opinion pieces in major media outlets to extend public awareness about Planetary Health.
  • An academic journal article to provide a scholarly foundation for our recommendations on integrating Planetary Health into medical education.

Each platform will have tailored messaging, but the list of authors or signatories will remain the same and will include those who complete the survey and choose to support the recommendations. Together, we’ll create a unified voice that will continue to build momentum for integrating Planetary Health into undergraduate medical education.
