Climate change represents one of the biggest global health threats of the 21st century and is already adversely affecting human health and health systems. Because of its complexity, basic science teaching may not be the optimal way to educate medical students in climate change and health if we want the knowledge to be applied to solve and explain problems instead of just passing examinations. Evidence suggests that the flipped classroom approach in health professions education yields a significant improvement in student learning compared with traditional teaching methods and student feedback has shown a significant improvement in satisfaction with flipped learning to standard lectures, both in scores and free-text feedback.
