INTRODUCTION
A One Health Collaborative at Rutgers has been established under the Global Health Department. This program will utilize four pillars: clinical practice, outreach, education and research to promote health and well-being globally and locally integrating humans, animals and the environment.
CLINICAL PRACTICE
Examining bonding
behavior in sheep may
enhance the human
delivery experience
improving maternal and
neonatal care.
EDUCATION
One Health Grand Rounds
at Rutgers pilot data
(N=30)
73% relevant
82% should be included
60% incorporate in practice
CONCLUSION
The Rutgers One Health
Collaborative promotes
interdisciplinary collaboration
to promote health.
One Health is relevant and
should be included in human
health care training and
practice.
We plan to expand this
program locally within the
state of New Jersey but
globally as well to serve as
an innovative framework for
health, wellness and disease.

Emphasis on the
interconnectedness of
humans, animals and the
environment can create
awareness of species and
environmental
conservation
and lead to
recycling
frameworks.
RESEARCH
One Health promotes
comparative medicine, an
efficient research
framework. Animals can be
examined in managed care
settings via in “living
laboratories.”
