Our Story
The Health and Environment Adaptive Response Task force
HEART is a group within the Canadian Federation of Medical Students (CFMS) that was established in 2016 to help coordinate advocacy efforts among Canadian medical students regarding current issues in environmental health and climate change. HEART has worked on raising awareness about planetary health through various avenues, including supporting national events, such as Fridays for Future in Sept 2019. We have also developed a set of core curricular competencies that address the main environmental issues to be included in the medical school curriculum across Canada.
