These four scenarios were created to see how much you’ve learned in this module. The answers are for self-check only. Detailed explanations with primary sources are provided regardless of your response. Take your time. Priya Priya is a 34-year-old woman who presents with a 12-day history of progressively worsening fever—initially low-grade, now 39.8°C—accompanied by headache, […]
Case Study: Daniel
Each module in this topic series covers a distinct pathway. However, in clinical practice, these exposures co-occur in the same patients. Planetary health reasoning means seeing the whole picture rather than addressing each symptom in isolation. Tap the arrow to view the case.Daniel is a 38-year-old man who presents to the emergency department. This is […]
Equity and clinical integration
Vulnerability to climate-related water and food risk is not evenly distributed, and it is not random. Four practical questions organize the population groups below:Â Where a person lives. How sensitive a person is to the exposure. How much exposure they actually receive. What capacity do they have to adapt. Who carries the greatest burden? The […]
Food, nutrition, and climate change
Climate change reshapes the food on your patients’ plates in ways that eventually reshape the patients themselves. The connections are rarely obvious at the bedside. No one presents with climate change, but the mechanisms behind malnutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and certain acute illnesses increasingly trace back to a warming planet and a rising atmospheric COâ‚‚ concentration.

Climate drivers of water-related disease
Climate change disrupts water systems in two opposite directions, and a third mechanism operates across both. Select each pathway below to explore the mechanisms and associated diseases. Pacific Northwest: our practice context Rural Washington state has a high proportion of households reliant on private wells, making flooding-driven well contamination a clinically important local risk. Warming […]
