The world is interconnected politically, financially, biologically, and socially – and is also connected through trade, travel, and commerce. All of these factors power the convergence of, and impact upon, animal, human, and environmental health. One Health is about working collaboratively across disciplines and professions because it is no longer possible to focus on any single domain without impacting upon, and including, others. The Global Health Institute (GHI) will address these issues by providing an opportunity for students from across the Southeast Asia region to examine the impact of globalization on health - and to identify strategies that support a healthy and productive global workforce.
The intensive program of study offered at this GHI will focus on developing One Health leadership and technical capacity, which are both critical elements in transforming the current and future workforce to ensure preparedness for new and emerging public health challenges. Specifically, the course will use the challenge of antimicrobial resistance as a global health issue.
