One Health embraces traditionally separate fields including human medical health disciplines, veterinary medicine, and the interactions of human and animal populations with the environment. By joining One Health you’ll learn why complex health problems such as disease pandemics cannot be prevented or controlled by specialists in one discipline alone, but require contributions from multiple specialists working in collaboration.
