Seminar Notice

International Animal Welfare Training Institute presents:

Cheryl Scott DVM MPVM
Why veterinarians are vital to the pursuit of a better health for humans, animals, and our environment.

Dr. Cheryl Scott is the Director of the Charles Schwabe One Health Project from the School of Veterinary Medicine. One Health is a contemporary term describing the collaboration of various scientific disciplines in the pursuit of better health for all humans, animals, and ecosystems. It is an emerging area of professional practice arising from the recognition of the growing interconnections and overlap economic, cultural, and physical in this interface. One Health understands that humans do not exist in isolation, but are part of the larger, total living ecosystem, and that the activities and conditions of each member affect the others.
