ONEH 2000

In this course, students will critically examine a series of case studies in One Health such as emerging infectious and foodborne diseases, climate change and resource management policy; biodiversity and human health, and food security. Each case will involve an analysis of context, key background, methodologies, strengths, and challenges associated with past practices, decision making processes, and identification of future opportunities for implementing a One Health approach. Through individual efforts and multidisciplinary teamwork, students will evaluate how system-thinking has and could be used to advance our understanding of these challenges, and will consider economic, social as well as scientific factors contributing to the progress made to date.
