Accordingly, climate change and health is becoming a critical area for graduate medical education (GME). As GME leaders design and drive education in residency and fellowship programs, understanding those leaders' baseline knowledge on this topic and its alignment with their organizations' priorities is an essential step in the development of climate and health education programs.
