Clinical Environmental Medicine: Symposium inspires students in Lübeck!
What is happening around environmental medicine? On December 8, 2025 the time has finally come: the student symposium “Clinical Environmental Medicine” will take place at 5 p.m. in the foyer of the Audimax at the University of Lübeck. This is all about the research, detection, treatment and prevention of environmental health disorders. This exciting event invites students from all disciplines, campus employees and other interested parties to exchange ideas about current issues and seek dialogue.
As part of the symposium, the results will be presented by committed students of human medicine and nursing science. An impressive number of 50 posters will be on display, from which the best three will also be awarded prizes. This provides a great opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and discuss their findings with others. Dr. Walter Häuser, who works as a teaching representative at the Institute for Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, is available to answer questions and provide further information. Anyone interested can contact him directly at walter.haeuser(at)uni-luebeck(dot)de.
Focus on clinical environmental medicine
But what exactly is clinical environmental medicine? This discipline is strongly patient-related and focused on individual medicine. It focuses on the medical care of people with health problems caused by environmental factors. In contrast to preventive environmental medicine, which deals with health in a population-oriented manner - represented by the German Society for Occupational Medicine and Environmental Medicine - clinical environmental medicine looks at the individual sensitivities and complex influences that affect an individual patient. This means that exogenous cofactors that cause environmental medical illnesses can be very diverse.
A notable aspect of clinical environmental medicine is that indoor pollutants and irritants affect approximately 70-80% of patients attending an environmental medicine practice. There are also non-physiological irritating factors, ranging from environmental or workplace allergens to psychological and physical stress, food components and electromagnetic fields. This diversity illustrates how important an interdisciplinary approach is in environmental medicine in order to develop individual treatment strategies and provide the patient with the best possible support. The German Federal Environmental Foundation provides information about how such topics are further researched and treated on its website, where you can find out more about the role of environmental medicine - DBU online.
The upcoming symposium is therefore not only a platform for the exchange of knowledge, but also a valuable opportunity to learn more about the complex aspects of environmental medicine and to discover how this discipline can be further developed in the future.
