Module 1
This module introduces learners to the One Health approach, emphasizing its use in understanding, preventing, and responding to large-scale health events. Learners meet the stakeholders involved in this approach and explore the advantages and challenges of integrating human, animal, plant, and environmental factors in health event considerations. Video content allows learners to engage with a fictional pathogenic fungus scenario and practice applying a One Health approach. They study a real pathogenic fungus (c. Auris) to identify and organize factors contributing to global health event risks. The module concludes with reflection questions, encouraging learners to consider the necessary systematic changes in education, healthcare, and research for the application of a One Health approach to future global health events.
In Lessons 1 & 2, learners were introduced to the concept of connections between climate and disease event risk. In the following case study, learners are asked to extend their analyses of these connections to an evaluation of Rift Valley Fever risk in Uganda.
