One Health in Nepal

One Health is the recognition of the interconnected nature of humans, animals and the environment, and the direct impact each system has on the other. This program will allow students to see and experience the interconnected nature of these systems and then work on a project which involves at least two of the systems.

Three Focus Areas
First spend 8 days in Kathmandu learning about Public Health Issues. Next, spend 5 days at the Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) in Rampur focusing on Animal Production and food safety, then spend 5 days at Chitwan National Park focusing on Wildlife/Human interactions and the environment. Finish up by presenting your project at AFU. Local guest lecturers will present each day as well as daily local field trips. Three UNESCO world heritage sites will be visited.
