  • EcoHealth National Rotation

    EcoHealth is an elective rotation for senior veterinary students from the five veterinary faculties across Canada.

    During the course, students learn approaches to investigating and proposing resolutions to disease problems involving animal and human health with ecosystem implications.  They are presented with problems, or cases specific to the natural, agronomic, industrial, and community priorities in the regions they are visiting, always aware of the political system in which they must operate.

    This flagship course, the only one that bridges all the veterinary faculties across Canada, is in its 19th year, and going strong, with the support of the Deans of Veterinary Medicine, and in recognition of the growing relevance of EcoHealth and One Health in veterinary medicine.

  • AHEAD

    Animal & Human Health For the Environment and Development

    AHEAD is a convening, facilitative mechanism, working to create enabling environments that allow different and often competing sectors to literally come to the same table and find collaborative ways forward to address challenges at the interface of wildlife health, livestock health, and human health and livelihoods. We convene stakeholders, help delineate conceptual frameworks to underpin planning, management and research, and provide technical support and resources for projects stakeholders identify as priorities. AHEAD recognizes the need to look at health and disease not in isolation but within a given region’s socioeconomic and environmental context.

  • Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC)

    Our projects aim to do more than stop rabies in one place. We are working to produce a model that health authorities worldwide can follow to combat the threat of rabies in their area.

    Global momentum in the fight against rabies could see the end of this terrifying disease – that’s what we’re working towards.
