Interdisciplinary master program „One Health“
Interdisciplinary master program, based on the One Health concept and investigation of real labor market needs, has been created at the University of Sarajevo through the TEMPUS project (www.tempus1health.net) in cooperation with higher education institutions from European Union (EU). Experiences from the first generation of students (2016/2017) and external evaluation had shown that the program addressed current human and animal health issues in Bosnia and Herzegovina through a modern scientifically based interdisciplinary approach.
General aims of the program are:
– Expand competencies for recognizing, analyzing and containing health disorders in populations of humans and animals building on monodisciplinary education gained during earlier formal education, and/or during their work in the formally separated systems of public health and animal health protection towards one health approach;
– Promote knowledge and skills in disciplines and sciences closely related to public health, animal health, and food safety, primarily focusing on the internationally recognized need for science-based decision making and cost-efficiency;
– Demonstrate advantages of interdisciplinarity in the context of efficiency, optimal resource allocation and promoting health issues in wider socio-political context;
– Establish a platform for better communication, formal and informal networking as well as for recognition of health risks overcoming barriers of host species, space and administrative borders, and capacities of separate systems of public health and animal health protection.
