Certificate

Approaches to Operationalizing One Health

This Approaches to Operationalizing One Health training is a four weeks online course. This course was designed by the University of AlaskaX and offered through the EDX platform. Arleigh Reynolds was the professor of clinical nutrition who explain this course.

One Health is widely recognized as a method for understanding issues at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health. This work necessitates cross-cultural and interdisciplinary collaboration efforts that employ a variety of strategies while emphasizing community involvement. A broad and deep base of knowledge can be developed using this approach. Such a constructionist method of problem-solving can support tremendous knowledge of issues at their root causes, but it is frequently associated with challenges that make One Health difficult to implement. Students will learn about the various toolkits that are available and widely used, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to use them to put One Health concepts into practice. Participants will get an option to enroll either in the free audit track that offers limited access or they can choose to upgrade to the paid version which is the verified track.

This online course on One Health: A Ten-Thousand-Year-Old View into the Future training is a six weeks online course. The course syllabus was offered and designed by the University of AlaskaX Fairbanks through the EDX platform.

Zoonotic agents cause between 65% and 70% of new diseases in humans. The way we impact our environment, as well as how these factors influence interactions, play an important role in the development and spread of these diseases.

Health is a state of well-being for both individuals and communities; it is more than just the absence of disease. According to this definition, well-being includes physical, mental, behavioral, cultural, and spiritual health. Taking a holistic approach to the One Health paradigm enables us to bring together expertise from the natural and social sciences, as well as connect Western science with traditional Indigenous ways of knowing. Students will get an option to enroll in 2 of the tracks available on Edx. The free audit track offers limited access or they can choose to upgrade to a paid version which is the verified track.
