One Health Certificate
This program is available at the following location:
- Corvallis
One Health is a framework that emphasizes the links between human, animal and environmental health, and utilizes a collaborative approach to solve the pressing health dilemmas of today. The multidisciplinary nature of the One Health approach requires that One Health professionals are proficient in knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes that go beyond the discipline-specific knowledge gained through traditional training programs. Therefore, we will use this program to foster communication and collaboration, bridging gaps between traditionally separate fields. This certificate will expose students to the concept of one health through coursework, internships and research experience.
Certificate Code: C250
Upon successful completion of the program, students will meet the following learning outcomes:
- Explain how environmental, human and animal health are linked and apply these concepts to a problem in their field of study.
- Develop collaboration skills needed to address one-health problems by interacting with each other across disciplinary boundaries.
