One Health Core Competencies
In times of global change and challenges such as the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the necessity for a holistic approach is more evident than ever. “One Health” is such a holistic approach that includes not only human medicine, but also veterinary medicine, environmental and social sciences.
This is an online course, in a blended learning format (Zoom-Moodle), in which students will learn about the Core Competencies, the foundation of the One Health approach, which include interdisciplinary teamwork, systemic thinking and a basic understanding of the approach. Students will receive 3 ECTS upon completion of the course.
The One Health Core Competencies course consists of a blended learning system, including synchronous and asynchronous units.
In the asynchronous sessions, the participants will be led through the theoretical foundations of interdisciplinary teamwork, systems thinking and the One Health approach through self-study with interactive elements on the Moodle-platform. Participants will also see illustrative examples of current One Health scientific cases.
During the synchronous sessions, participants will meet online via ‘Zoom’ and work together as multi- and interdisciplinary teams. They will reflect and discuss on the One Health approach and solve a real-world One Health problem using an interactive problem-based learning method. The learned content will be reviewed in interactive tasks on Moodle. As a final assignment, participants will develop a written report – the “Mission Plan” for solving the One Health problem.
