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.
