Exploring faculty perspectives toward developing a planetary health curriculum for family medicine residents at the University of Toronto.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Climate change is the greatest threat to human health of this century, yet limited formal curriculum exists within postgraduate family medicine (FM) programs across Canada. As outlined by The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) Guides for Improvement of Family Medicine Training (GIFT) report, learners have called for planetary health (including climate change) education and recommended a curriculum framework. This study aimed to understand University of Toronto Department of Family Medicine faculty attitudes around implementing a planetary health curriculum within the FM residency program. Methods: This study used a qualitative descriptive design. Thirty faculty members from various teaching, curriculum, and leadership positions were invited to participate in virtual semi-structured video interviews. Data was collected and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Thirteen interviews were conducted between May-September 2022. Participants perceived planetary health was relevant to FM, but most were unfamiliar with the term. Four overarching themes were developed from the data: (1) curriculum implementation, (2) curriculum development, (3) barriers, and (4) attitudes. Barriers to integrating PH learning objectives include a lack of faculty knowledge and skills, burnout, and an already saturated FM curriculum. Conclusion: To address the climate crisis, there is need for a planetary health curriculum, yet faculty have a limited understanding of this topic. This knowledge gap is one of multiple barriers to curriculum implementation this study identified. This study provides insight and suggestions for tools that may aid planetary health curriculum development and implementation.
