UBC is committed to supporting teachers in implementing inclusive course design and teaching practices.

If applicable, please consider including one slide at the beginning or at the end of your lecture illustrating how the condition/topic you're presenting intersects with Planetary Health/Climate Change. This is particularly relevant when discussing some chronic conditions.
