Course Overview

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. Christina Ireton, an assistant professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, explains this online course

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.
