In a BugBitten blog post, Krisztian Magori reflects on the benefits of attending workshops to keep up with novel research and develop connections with the professional community.
This Winter, I received an invitation to participate in a One Health Assessment Workshop organized by the Washington State Department of Health . According to the CDC, One Health is:
The purpose of this two-day workshop was to bring together practitioners across the human, animal and environmental health sectors, develop new collaborations and partnerships between them, understand the benefits and barriers to progress in One Health, and get their input in prioritizing One Health needs. The outcome of this workshop will be a written report due this summer that will guide funding, program activities and policy decisions.
After a few short introduction slides, we were instructed to select one out of 10 working groups with different pre-defined topics, such as antimicrobial resistance, decreasing contaminants, or disaster preparedness, etc. On the first day, I selected “Improving vector surveillance data practices”, of course. Students from various institutions guided us through a process based on the One Health Theory of Change.
On the second day, we listened to a couple of amazing presentations and continued with a similar assessment for an additional 10 topics. This time, I chose “Coordinating climate change and health and One Health efforts”. I learned at this table that climate change is already impacting One Health in Washington State. One staff member from a Local Health Jurisdiction stated that the majority of their emergencies are climate related.
