Episode 5: Extreme Weather and Emergency Preparedness

The global climate is changing, altering established patterns of disease and health. As young people inherit a new world, how should today's pediatricians prepare to practice in tomorrow's climate?

This podcast is a compilation of that work, designed as part of a novel curriculum to help pediatric residents explore the interactions between climate change and child health. Join Dr. Sophia Gauthier and her colleague, Dr. Graham Aufricht, as they explore their practice through the lens of Clinicians, Kids, and a Changing Climate.
