– Define and discuss what the one health initiative is? How can it impact human health?
– Discuss the 3 three components that make up the educational framework of one health (microbiological influences on health and disease; ecosystem health/physical environment; and human-animal interaction) and the role they play.
– How does the one health initiative improve global health and how can we get countries to partner in these efforts? Give an example of how the global community has partnered on a one health initiative (i.e. Paris Climate Accord Agreement)
– How does social work practice align with the One Health initiative?
Lastly, thinking about the overall course, what are your biggest takeaways about public health and social work practice? What was most helpful to learn about?
