Implementing Planetary Health in PROFILES

Implementing Planetary Health in PROFILES Switzerland is taking important steps to align medical education with the urgent challenges of our time.

As part of the ongoing revision of the national framework for human medicine, PROFILES, Planetary Health is gaining recognition as a vital component of future medical training.

Planetary Health emphasizes the deep interconnection between human health and the health of our planet. By integrating this perspective into PROFILES we prepare future physicians to understand and address the health impacts of environmental changes.

We support and advocate for the systematic inclusion of Planetary Health competencies in the new PROFILES and invite all stakeholders to join us in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future for health education in Switzerland.
