Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe 2022-2023 AACP Argus Commission was charged to provide guidance to schools, curriculum committees, and faculty on how to incorporate health, wellness, and health inequities stemming from climate change into pharmacy curricula. The Argus Commission does not advocate for major changes in the curriculum or standards but suggests a concerted effort across the academy to enhance the awareness of graduating students of the potential impact of climate change on health both now and in the future. Various examples, along with recommendations and suggestions, are provided of how the impact of climate change on health is currently being integrated in to curricula in member schools, as well as, a list of resources faculty can use to enhance their awareness of issues related to climate change and health. The Commission was also charged to provide guidance to AACP regarding future fundraising and business development opportunities. Recommendations in that regard are also included in this report.PMID:37918567 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajpe.2023.100612
