4 Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health Mission to provide innovative solutions to global infectious disease challenges through research, education, global outreach, and application of disease control at the animal-human interface. The Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health advances science, people, and policy to discover novel approaches for disease intervention and delivery of preventive health care for animals and humans.

5 Allen School Focus on Disease Control at the Animal-Human Interface

6 Global Animal Health Pathway to Professional Certificate Program Program Goals expand opportunities for and competence of veterinarians in reducing global health disparities through intervention at the animal-human interface. create an environment where students gain skills and knowledge to confront the challenges related to global animal health prepare students, as global citizens, to work toward practical sustainable solutions to critical global health concerns

7 Program Learning Objectives to understand the historical, socio-economic, cultural, political and environmental factors responsible for global health disparities. to develop a multidisciplinary and multicultural perspective regarding global health. to learn to collaborate effectively with professionals from diverse academic disciplines and cultural backgrounds. to develop an awareness of the key diseases affecting animal health in middle and lower income countries, and the animal production systems in which these diseases are addressed. to learn how animal and zoonotic diseases are effectively controlled in different cultural frameworks and in areas with limited resources. to learn how to identify gaps in knowledge that limit effective control of animal and zoonotic disease and the roles for discovery, development, and implementation science in resolving animal health problems, thereby reducing global health disparities.

11 The Global Animal Health Major Project Project focus - major health problem with global significance that can be addressed by intervention at the animal human interface. Impact in developing countries is preferred but not required. Hypothesis driven research - students are expected to demonstrate initiative and responsibility in study design, proposal writing, carrying out the project, analysis of results, writing and presentation Project scale - can be at any level Student time commitment - at least 6 continuous weeks on their project for credit (40 hrs/week). Projects carried out over several years are encouraged. The Mentor role - expected to actively advise students throughout their pathway to completion of their final written and oral presentation in the 4 th year.
