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
Healthhttps://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
Collaborativehttp://nconehealthcollaborative.weebly.com/ which
holds one health intellectual exchange groups and the NCSU veterinary
school has a One Health Interest
grouphttp://onehealthncsucvm.wordpress.com/which has just formed
(the website is still being updated).

*If you'd like to talk more, get involved, or give a talk on One Health let
me know!*
Thanks,
Lauren

I wanted to share a link to my latest article that is about a movement an
³umbrella concept² called One Health (started in a sense by the Wildlife
Conservation Society, though there are many other orgs involved past and
presenT) that is sweeping through ecology, vet health, human health, etc.
It
includes coverage of mountain gorillas, chimps, the Batwa forest pygmies,
and lots of cool development projects that help both human and
wildlife/ecosystem health. Let me know what you think!
