About this event
Unable to visit in person? Prospective students are invited to join (via Zoom) the last hour or course MCM Health, Disease and the Environment (instructed by Dr. Chris Whittier, Program Director). Course Description: A basic and broad understanding of and fluency with human, animal and environmental health and disease is critical in conservation medicine. This class will review disease drivers and mechanisms, host defenses against disease, the role of vectors in spreading and maintaining disease, and basic principles of disease ecology. The class will also review some current diseases of major concern for conservation medicine and ecosystem health. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of animal, human, and environmental health, and the environmental, economic, and anthropogenic factors promoting the emergence or persistence of infectious diseases and other major health threats. Session topic will be shared closer to the event.
