This time we are Reviewing the Planetary Health Report Card Results with Shuchi Sharma and Ankit Annapareddy on April 10th, 12-1pm.
The student organization, Sustainability in Medicine, at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, has completed the Planetary Health Report Card for the third year in a row.
This is part of a national effort to analyze the sustainability education and change efforts at health professional schools across the world. Our overall grade has decreased from 67% to 59% this year but our curriculum grade, supported significantly by student efforts, remains stable at 61%.
During this presentation, we will share:
- Our process
- More detailed findings
- Recommendations to continue an upward trajectory
Shuchi Sharma is a rising fourth-year medical student who has participated in Sustainability in Medicine since her first year.
