A Call for One Health in Medical Education: How the COVID-19 Pandemic Underscores the Need to Integrate Human, Animal, and Environmental Health

March 27, 2021

“ …  Preventing future pandemics will require a transdisciplinary One Health approach, and physicians should be prepared to participate in these discussions while advocating for One Health initiatives for the benefit of their current and future patients. Integration of One Health education into medical school curricula will also prepare future physicians for other complex and urgently important health issues such as climate change, antimicrobial resistance, and the impact of biodiversity loss. As the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic persist, education in One Health must become a priority; it is essential to break down the conventional disciplinary silos of human medicine, veterinary medicine, environmental health, public health, and the social sciences, so that future health crises can be prevented and mitigated collaboratively.”

One Health for One Planet: How to Address 21st Century Education Challenges – Impakter

March 23, 2021

We have been experiencing the worst global pandemic in over a century and it has brought the world economy to its knees. Now we need to map out the path to recovery, and in doing so, we have become aware of the incredible challenge of how to do better in the future. A lot will need to change for our post-COVID world to be sustainable and protected from another pandemic hitting us through an animal vector. In this article, I explore the most important change that needs to be made and that involves addressing 21st Century education challenges in a One Health manner.

The starting point is for us to recognize that the interface between animal-human-environmental health is not rhetoric but reality. The concept of One Health, which once sat on the periphery of the academic world, has now taken full center. This means that civil society, political decision processes, and the private sector need to embrace this fundamental notion.

Leading the way in environmental antimicrobial resistance research

March 19, 2021

Michigan State University ranks ninth in the world and is the only U.S. university in the top ten in terms of advancements in environmental antimicrobial resistance research, according to a recent announcement by the Global Health Research and Policy.

“… Understanding and reducing environmental antibiotic resistance is instrumental in maintaining effective antibiotic use to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. Tiedje said the emphasis on the “One Health Concept” has helped to place a higher emphasis on environmental antimicrobial resistance research.

“It is important that One Health has gained a lot of traction,” Tiedje said. “It relates to the issues of antibiotic use and resistance in humans, but also use in animals and the prevalence of antibiotics in the environment. Because humans, animals and the environment are all potential sources and reservoirs for antibiotics, that leads to resistant organisms and resistance genes which can transfer among them, including to animals and humans.” …”
