Course content would include NTD biology and geography, risk factors for infection, vulnerable populations, socioeconomic burden, national/international programs for disease reduction, and biomedical innovation. Students will apply this information to the design of evidence-based, culturally appropriate, and One Health framed programs for NTD control and/or elimination.
⑦ OH 007 One Health Field School (20 credits)
This module will focus on solving complex problems by developing leadership skills at the interface of different disciplines through applied system analysis and embedded experiences.

⑧ CAPSTONE One Health Practicum project (50 credits)
The practicum project provides students with a guided space in which to carry out a self-directed and independent project in a field related to One Health. It is designed to allow students to gain hands-on experience in the research and design, implementation and management, and analysis and dissemination of their project, which will further prepare them for becoming global health leaders and change makers. The practicum in One Health can take on any forms of health project with a partnering organization. Projects that encourage students to think critically, to utilize evidence to solve challenging problems strategically, and apply the One Health approach to address complex global health challenges equitably, effectively, and efficiently are suitable for the One Health Practicum.
