One Health has been defined as “the collaborative effort of multiple disciplines -- working locally, nationally, and globally – to secure a healthy world for people, animals and the environment."
Why is ecosystem health important in medicine? Why should wildlife conservationists and physicians work together to prevent the spread of disease? How are human, animal and environmental health intertwined?
This Decal is sponsored by the One Health Student Initiative at Berkeley, a Cal undergraduate and graduate student-driven effort to develop interdisciplinary approaches to human, animal, and environmental health problems arising and persisting in the 21st century. Our goal is to educate and critically engage students from a variety of disciplines on these issues and push students to develop innovative solutions through collaboration with different fields of expertise.
This course is intended to provide an overview of the One Health model that has been adopted by a variety of disciplines, including – but not limited to – medicine, veterinary medicine, conservation biology, and ethnobotany. Students are guided to understand and develop holistic approaches to health by critically analyzing existing paradigms of health and medicine and discussing alternative approaches to medicine and health.
This course aspires to bridge the gap between seemingly disparate disciplines by establishing common goals: to preserve and protect the health of humans, animals and the environment as well as realize the interconnectedness between these three domains.
