Jennifer Kallenbach is currently pursuing her PhD at the Chair of Planetary and Public Health at the University of Bayreuth. She possesses a Bachelor of Science in Teaching at Vocational Schools in Health Sciences and Biology, as well as a Master of Medical Education. Her six years of working experience in nursing school constitute a significant component of her academic career. In her current role as a research assistant at the Medical School Hamburg, she draws on her experience in university teaching in the areas of health behavior research, health literacy promotion, and school development.
In pursuit of a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary development for herself and for health professionals, Jennifer intends to address the present and future challenges posed by planetary and environmental changes and the requirements for health professionals and their ability to deal with them at the University of Bayreuth. The subject of her current dissertation is, therefore, the investigation of potential determinants of a planetary health literacy model for health professionals. The aim of this investigation is to maintain, protect, and promote the planetary health literacy of this target group in a healthcare system characterized by global change. The focus of this investigation is on the health of the professionals themselves, the recipients of their care, and the planet.
