One Health (Short Course)
This free course presents a novel framework through which health professionals, educators, leaders, policymakers and professionals from diverse backgrounds can equitably and ethically address complex health challenges. Scientific evidence has shown that the links between human, animal and environmental health are becoming more pronounced and this widening responsibility for health across disciplines brings with it the recognition that an important transformation for the upcoming workforce is required in attitudes and practices.
