Faculty Development for Education for Sustainable Health Care: A University System-Wide Initiative to Transform Health Professional Education.

Health professionals (HPs) are increasingly called upon to care for patients experiencing the health impacts of climate change, while working in the high eco-footprint health care system, which is starting to embrace a culture of sustainability. HPs are uniquely positioned to drive health care culture toward ecological responsibility and, consequently, improve patient care, health equity, and public health. Education for sustainable health care (ESHC or ESH) is the first step in developing health care practitioners able to think critically about and act upon the health impacts of the climate crisis.

A Case Report of Scrupulosity Presenting as Catatonia in a Patient With Both OCD and OCPD.

We present the case of a woman in her 40s with a history of hypothyroidism, a differential diagnosis of major depressive disorder with psychotic features versus bipolar I disorder, catatonia, and anorexia nervosa. The patient was admitted to the hospital for poor oral intake, mutism, and social withdrawal. Administration of lorazepam successfully treated these presenting symptoms.

A rare case of Wernicke encephalopathy in stage IV gastric cancer.

He was found to have an ileus and was treated appropriately with bowel rest and nasogastric tube decompression. However, the patient was also noted to have confusion and nystagmus.

Community-engaged sustainable health care education.

Background: Climate and ecological changes substantially impact human health. Sustainable health care education (SHE) teaches health professions students about the interdependence of ecosystems and human health, the health sector's impact on the environment, and sustainable solutions for both ecosystems and human health. Yet little is understood about the methods used to facilitate SHE learning within the local context.
