About the One Health Intellectual Exchange Series

This interdisciplinary course will introduce the concept of One Health as an increasingly important approach to a holistic understanding of the prevention of disease and the maintenance of both human and animal health. The list of topics will include a discussion of bidirectional impact of animal health on human health, the impact of earth’s changing ecology on health, issues of food and water security and preparedness, and the benefits of comparative medicine. Learning objectives include 1) to describe how different disciplines contribute to the practice of One Health, 2) to creatively design interdisciplinary interventions to improve Global Health using a One Health model, and 3) to interact with One Health-relevant professionals in the Triangle and beyond. The course aims to include students from Duke, UNC and NC State from diverse disciplines relevant to One Health, including: human medicine, veterinary medicine, environmental science, public health, global health, public policy, and others.

One Health Library Guide created by Duke Global Health Librarian

Duke Global Health librarian, Diane Harvey, immediately reached out to the One Health course organizers to get involved. She has put together a fantastic resource for the course and our students, a One Health LibGuide. This guide will be very helpful in researching case studies and learning more about One Health. Diane has been working with her counterparts at UNC, Mellanye Lackey, and NC State, to provide resources to the students. She has also taught us all how to set up a Google Reader for One Health, so we'll all be in the know about current One Health news. Keep checking back as we update our news section with stories.
