The University of Melbourne Green Health Group has not been active in the first half of 2010, in part because some of us are playing a greater role in Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA).
If you’d like to get in contact with medical students at the University of Melbourne who are interested in environmental issues, please contact Doctors for the Environment Australia via deastudents@gmail.com or www.dea.org.au.
In the second half of 2010, DEA student members will be running ‘Code Green’, a campaign which aims to enable medical students and junior doctors to act on climate change, with the support of DEA and AMSA. For more information, see www.codegreensite.com or email climatecodegreen@gmail.com.
The Code Green campaign features a 3-minute video clip which provides a basic outline of the key relationships between climate change and health. This can be viewed on You Tube.
