One Health is an approach that recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment is closely connected. It brings professionals from medicine, veterinary medicine, public health, and environmental fields together to address challenges they share, such as infectious diseases, rabies, and extreme heat. By working across these fields, we can better prevent health threats and protect communities throughout Puerto Rico.
Animal exposures, infectious diseases, and extreme heat can all affect your patients. One Health helps connect those concerns to prevention and care.
No. The symposium is designed to encourage conversation across different health professions.
Sessions will explore dermatology, infectious diseases, rabies, the environment, and extreme heat.
Veterinarians work at the intersection of animal, human, and environmental health. By bringing professionals from these fields together, the Colegio de Médicos Veterinarios de Puerto Rico helps turn shared knowledge into action for a healthier Puerto Rico.
Since 2013, when the Colegio de Médicos Veterinarios de Puerto Rico established a committee to promote One Health and collaboration among health professionals. That same year, the Colegio participated in the Colegio de Médicos Cirujanos de Puerto Rico’s convention and has continued offering educational talks on the topic.
