The Center for Integrative Medicine in Tucson, Arizona will bring together a group from public health organizations, medical school administration and environmental groups to initiate an effort to introduce their module on environmental health to mainstream medical school curricula.
While the impact of environmental factors on health is already a focus of public health, it has not yet become part of a standard medical school education. One of the guiding inspirations behind this initiative is the understanding that doctors are among society's greatest change makers.
Blackstone Ranch Institute is co-sponsoring events with other organizations that share its mission of influencing positive environmental change. The institute provides support to those who are engaged in vital strategic dialogs at the inception or breakout stage of major social innovation.
