The 2nd Annual Iowa One Health Conference will bring together a transdisciplinary cast of students and professionals in relevant fields to learn and discuss how the concept of One Health can help drive positive change in the health of each of its three domains. Key features of the conference include lectures, breakout sessions, and an interactive public health problem-solving session.

We are excited to announce that the theme of the 2018 One Health One Planet symposium will be Health Impacts: Chemicals of Concern in the Environment, with a special focus on endocrine disruptors. To build a shared interdisciplinary vision of “health” and serve as a catalyst for positive change, Phipps Conservatory brings together leaders to explore global and local environmental issues and their effects on human, animal and environmental health through the One Health Initiative.

The One Health Workshop is organized in collaboration with Center for Global Studies & Center on Health, Aging & Learning, UIUC and several students and faculty from different departments. The goal of the workshop is to discuss international and national level One Health research opportunities, unveil a new course that uses One health approaches to tackle infectious diseases and to disseminate the One Health concept to students, faculty and researchers.
