PUBLIC HEALTH AND GLOBAL HEALTH AS VENUES FOR CROSS-DISCIPLINARY HEALTH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

Christopher W. Olsen, D.V.M., Ph.D. University of Wisconsin–Madison

Christopher Olsen is a professor of public health in the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison). He is also Associate Director for the One Health, Global Health Institute, which is why he was asked to speak about public health and global health as opportunities for cross-disciplinary health professional education. Olsen feels strongly that public health and global health education provide venues for bringing students across multiple disciplines together to learn together and to learn how to cooperate and work effectively together. Because almost all of the health professional programs are in close proximity to each other on a single campus, his university is uniquely positioned to facilitate learning across the professions.

He provided two examples to illustrate his point.
