One Health Toxicology Mentoring Activities

Join us to support the Mentoring and Skills Development Training Program in One Health (MSDT-One Health) Program Fund

One Health requires transdisciplinary collaborations to promote the health of people, animals, and their shared environment. However, transdisciplinary research in One Health requires a skill set which is not widely taught. MSDT-One Health is a professional development and mentoring program bridging clinical skills with toxicology knowledge and practice at the nexus of environmental toxic exposures and One Health (the health of humans and animals). The goal of this national program is to build a cadre of undergraduate STEM students and early-career scientists with knowledge and research skill sets suitable for transdisciplinary, multisectoral, transformative research in One Health. Hosted by the University of California, Davis, the program is delivered by a consortium of institutions. The program is 1 year-long, primarily delivered virtually, and contains widely accessible learning modules available 24/7. Learning objectives are achieved through a combination of workshops, field trips, attendance at a One Health Conference (SETAC), assigned modules and case studies, grant writing workshops, and webinars by expert scientists in the field of One Health. Donations are requested to cover mentee travel expenses and to support the development of online learning modules. Your gift provides support for the program and will help us deliver a transformative mentoring and professional development training program that will expand One Health research
