While the concept of One Health is well understood in relation to the interactions between production animals, wildlife, the environment and human health, the WSAVA believes that the significance of the human-companion animal bond is not yet fully appreciated. The Committee has created its Certificate program to focus specifically on the role of companion animals in order to bridge this ‘knowledge gap’.
The development of the program, free of charge for WSAVA members, has been led by WSAVA One Health Committee Chair Michael Lappin DVM, PhD, DACVIM from the of Companion Animal Studies, Colorado State University, USA. Dr Lappin says:
