Leveraging Human, Animal, and Environmental Health Partners to Keep Michigan Healthy Series #4 (Live Session-CE)

Live Session - October 29, 2024 from 12-1 PM EST (Registration closes at 8AM EST on October 29. The Zoom link will be emailed prior to start.)

CE and certificate of completion are free.

This series will explore One Health through a cross-sectoral lens with consideration to equity. Bringing together participants from a variety of disciplines (infectious disease physicians, veterinarians, public health staff), we will analyze cases, share perspectives, and collaborate in a peer-to-peer learning environment. This fourth and final session will explore One Health and rabies through a cross-sectoral and health equity focus. In this session we'll do a high-level review of the rabies virus, transmission, animal reservoirs, and human populations most impacted by the virus. We will also work through a rural outbreak involving rabid skunks and cows, highlighting the importance of using a One Health approach.

Note on Accessibility: While we don’t offer ASL interpretation, we do have auto-transcription in Zoom. Slides will be provided prior to the session.
