Nicole, I am so glad you posted this. The One Health movement is a very popular movement in veterinary schools right now, but I don't think the movement has done a good job of involving medical schools, the scientific community, or practicing veterinarians yet (correct me if I am wrong).
The idea has been around for a while. If you are unfamiliar check out this short youtube video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ9ybOumITg>. If this is something you are *interested in, I'd encourage you to get involved!* Check out the One Health Commission <https://www.onehealthcommission.org/>'s website to *check out One Health events* and post events you know of. A group of veterinary students from different schools recently started talking more and a facebook group "Students for One Health<https://www.facebook.com/groups/studentsforonehealth/>" and Linked-In page "Future leaders in one health" were created. We'd love for you to join us. In North Carolina, we have the NC One Health Collaborative<http://nconehealthcollaborative.weebly.com/> which holds one health intellectual exchange groups and the NCSU veterinary school has a One Health Interest group<http://onehealthncsucvm.wordpress.com/>which has just formed (the website is still being updated). Virginia-www.onehealth.org.vt.edu *If you'd like to talk more, get involved, or give a talk on One Health let me know!* Thanks, Lauren Lauren E.
