Pedagogical Organization
Justification
The One Health concept, which involves the triad of human, animal and environmental health, is on the Global Health agenda and constitutes a multisectoral and multiprofessional approach aimed at tackling complex health problems. However, this concept is still little known in Brazil and its practical application is incipient. In a recent work on One Health governance in Brazil, barriers to the implementation of this approach were observed, mainly the limited integration between the Ministries of Health, Agriculture and Livestock and the Environment, as well as the lack of an integrated information system and work process for the control of zoonoses. Joint actions between sectors and disciplines should be encouraged, with the inclusion of vulnerable populations, for a multisectoral and equitable approach in the country.It is worth highlighting the need to expand knowledge about One Health, both in training processes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Therefore, this course aims to expand the dissemination of the One Health concept and bring the
international experience on governance using this approach, as well as the current discussion on One Health, with emphasis on current discussions such as: climate change, antimicrobial resistance, food insecurity, preparedness and response to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and water and habitat degradation. The participation of professors from other countries seeks to provide the course with the current discussion of the global health agenda and the exchange of experiences on governance and the application of the One Health concept.
General Objective
Provide students with opportunities to understand and update One Health knowledge in a global
perspective.
Educational Objectives
It is expected that at the end of the course there will be a deepening and expansion of knowledge on the topics addressed, and that the student will be able to identify and characterize the One Health approach to governance in Brazil and other countries, including the preparedness and response to zoonotic infectious diseases.
Methodology
Remote lectures (synchronous or recorded) via Zoom and Moodle platforms. Some classes will be presented in English. You will be asked to prepare a final work and deliver it in two weeks after the last day of the course.
Assessment
Minimum attendance of 75%, and evaluation of the final written work.
