Abstract

Training the global health workforce to help manage emerging risks (including pandemic preparedness) and build health system resiliency is a priority for health professions programs. Incorporating One Health competencies – which emphasize multidisciplinary collaborations to identify innovative solutions that connect human, animal, and environmental health – can prepare trainees to excel in their academic teaching, clinical practice, community health activities, laboratory diagnostics, and policy decision-making.
