other things, students responded to a question about global environmental health.challenges. Preliminary results have provided an
important framework for further reflections on public health priorities. While climate change, water and air occupied an important
place among the priorities of future doctors, energy and migration are neglected in their answers as a priority. In conclusion, it
is necessary to intensify training and strengthen curricula of health professionals on this subject. Migration is, among others, a
