- The impact of climate change on health
- The impact of our healthcare systems on climate change
- Sustainability strategies to adopt as a carer or future carer:
Systems approach and vision
Associated co-benefits

Evaluation methods
Le cours est évalué à l'aide de deux parties : un examen théorique et la participation à une activité pédagogique. La partie théorique se compose d'un examen écrit en session comprenant des questions à choix multiples (QCM) ainsi que des questions ouvertes. Les questions portent tant sur la matière vue au cours que sur l’activité pédagogique réalisée.
La participation aux deux parties constituant un dispositif intègre, il est obligatoire d’avoir participé aux deux parties afin d’obtenir une note. En l’absence de la participation à l’une ou l’autre de ces deux parties, l’étudiant sera considéré comme absent.
La note finale est la moyenne pondérée de l’examen théorique et de l’activité pédagogique.
