Abstract
Background:
The One Health (OH) approach, which seeks to bring together
human and animal health, is particularly suited to the effective
management of zoonotic diseases across both sectors. To overcome
professional silos, OH needs to be taught at the undergraduate
level. Here, we describe a problem-based learning activity using
the OH approach that was conducted outdoors for 3rd-year
veterinary students in Malaysia.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 118 students, divided into two groups, completed the
activity which spanned 1½ days at a deer park adjacent to a
wilderness area. Students were asked to evaluate the activity
using an online survey that had quantitative and qualitative
components.
Results:
Response rate was 69.5%. The activity was rated excellent by
69.5% and good by 30.4%. Levels of satisfaction were high on a
range of criteria. 97.5% of students intended to take action in
their studies as a result of what they had learned.
Conclusions:
Delivery of an outdoor problem-based learning activity using OH
approach was very successful in terms of participation,
knowledge delivery and understanding, and the willingness of
students to integrate OH into their future practice. For the
improvement of future programs, the involvement of other
disciplines (such as Medical, Biology, Biotechnology,
Biomedical, and Public Health) is being considered.
