About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in climate change and public health. She's here to discuss an exciting new graduate certificate course, "Climate Change Science for Health Promotion." Welcome, Dr. Smith! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm excited to share more about this important course. HOST: Let's dive right in. Can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to teach a course like this? GUEST: Absolutely. As a public health professional, I've seen firsthand how climate change impacts our communities, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. I wanted to create a course that equips professionals with the skills to address these challenges. HOST: That's fascinating. What current industry trends should our listeners be aware of when it comes to climate change and public health? GUEST: There's growing recognition of the need for interdisciplinary collaboration between public health, climate science, and policy. Professionals who can bridge these gaps will be in high demand. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what obstacles have you encountered in teaching this subject, and how do you overcome them? GUEST: One challenge is making complex climate science concepts accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. We use real-world examples, case studies, and interactive activities to help illustrate these ideas. HOST: That sounds like a great approach. Lastly, where do you see the future of climate change and public health, and how does this course prepare students for that future? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see increased focus on climate change adaptation and resilience. This course equips students with practical skills to advocate for policy changes, engage communities, and develop sustainable interventions.
