Doctors and Medical Schools Are Changing Treatments and Training to Respond to the Warming Climate - Inside Climate News As global warming spreads pests, diseases and toxins, new programs are developing to help medical professionals look at their patients’ health, lifestyles and treatments through a climate lens.

Doctors and medical schools are adapting treatments and training to address the health impacts of climate change.

"There’s a body of knowledge...that physicians need to know if they’re going to be effective in taking care of patients," says Jay Lemery, MD, of @cumedicalschool.bsky.social

After canceling meeting of independent advisers, FDA issues 2025-26 flu vaccine recommendations | CNN The US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday issued recommendations for the composition of influenza shots for the upcoming respiratory virus season, but without input from its independent vaccine ...

In case you, like me, are a high-anxiety human who missed this piece of moderately reassuring news:

Despite many broken things, the FDA *did* make a flu shot recommendation for this fall.

#MedSky I'm starting clerkship next week! Transitioning into Phase 2 of the #CarleIllinois curriculum.

Do you have any advice or memorable stories? 😊

For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid. When Dr. Michael Zollicoffer was diagnosed with two types of cancer, his patients started a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $100,000.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him.

So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

Thank you, Dr. Eshtehardi! I am starting a data science project on high-risk pregnancies and we're interested in exploring #PPCM, so this is very helpful.😊

Hi @cardioobdoc.bsky.social @cardioob.bsky.social @accintouch.bsky.social what is the official term to describe cardiomyopathy during pregnancy? I am seeing the following:
1. peripartum cardiomyopathy
2. gestational cardiomyopathy
3. hypertensive cardiomyopathy of pregnancy

Thank you in advance!🙂

It’s a systemic issue. As a woman in med school, I believe wellness, compassion, and addressing the mental health challenges of female physicians must begin at the med school level. We need to prioritize this from the start.

Happy to! I'd be interested in reading the book if you don't mind sharing the title 🙂

There’s a lot to explore in how music works as active medicine, not just via passive listening—especially w/ the physiological changes I’ve seen in cancer patients. My research is now exploring long-term healing.

Incredible! Interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Said performs open-heart surgery on newborn during c-section. Procedure is called ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT).

Stories like this keep me motivated to be on the #MFM #OB side one day. 🥰

Gutting Medicaid, which many rely on for maternity care and to pay for the NICU (birth weight < 1,200 g), is the most anti fetus, anti-newborn legislation possible.

States With More Maternal-Fetal Specialists Had Lower Rates of Maternal Death Stillbirth rates also numerically lower in states with a high density of these physicians

Training the next generation of Maternal Fetal Medicine specialists is a literally life-saving endeavor
