“…The frequency and utility of real-time social media tools (e.g., smartphone apps) in classroom and community settings has been a fundamental addition to medical education. [1] With an increase in the use of innovative technology for learning, these tools have been instrumental in providing medical students with the timely access to clinical information, such as laboratory values or pharmaceutical side effects. [2]Medical students have incorporated social media platforms (e.g., YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp) in their e-learning, using online question banks and study aids to supplement their academic learning.…”

“…With increased interest and versatility among health professional students, social media platforms have been successfully used to expand health communication efforts during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa 69 and guide One Health community field campaigns. 70 It has the potential to combat the “infodemic”—defined as the rapid spread of false information—of TB and other stigma-associated diseases like COVID-19 71 as well as streamline operational networks in the public-private mix approach. 61 Furthermore, telemedicine applications have strengthened provider-patient engagement and TB diagnostic and treatment adherence through text messaging 72 and computer-aided technology.…”

Current challenges in TB control efforts, such as an unprepared public health system leadership and infrastructure and an overwhelmed health care workforce, will require novel approaches, practices, and renewed political commitment to maintain sustainable TB programs.We described proposed recommendations that may strengthen health system preparedness for optimal TB control across low-and middle-income countries: n Ensuring leadership and governance for sustainable national health care budgets n Building networks of community stakeholders n Supporting high-quality health care workforce training and safe workplace environments n Using digital health interventions for TB care Key Implications n National health systems should develop national policies that promote integral, patient-centered TB care, facilitate the implementation of ethical community interventions, support operational research, and allow the integration of appropriate eHealth applications. n Program managers who understand challenges in TB prevention and control with coexisting health priorities can serve as instrumental leaders and patient advocates to deliver high-quality and sustainable TB care that leads to achieving targets of the End TB Strategy.

“…Work by Chapman and various of her colleagues, as discussed above, indicated a need for health professional students to be prepared for collaborative practice in the future and to better understand the interactions between human, animal, and environmental health spheres (7,12). Amihasun et al (14) paid specific attention to the need for a more holistic approach to diagnoses to be developed among MD students as this would help them to better consider the impact of animal and environmental factors on their patients' health. Decaro et al's (15) focus on veterinarians needing to step up to be at the forefront of policy changes during pandemics such as COVID-19 highlighted another need for introducing students to OH.…”

Introduction: One Health (OH) is an important concept to design appropriate public health responses to emerging diseases such as COVID-19. How trainee health professionals understand this concept is important to its implementation. In this study, we explored how medical (MD), veterinary (DVM), and dual degree MD and DVM Master of Public Health (MPH) students define OH and its relevance to practice.Methods: Students participated in a survey that included the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), and two questions requiring them to define and explain the relevance of OH. The transcripts of the OH responses underwent thematic analysis. Role theory was used to explain the variation in how students from these different programmes viewed the concept.Results: The responses of the MD and DVM students in contrast to the dual degree MPH students reflected gaps in their understanding of the concept that pertained to the specific health impacts of global warming; antimicrobial resistance, food security; social, cultural and environmental determinants of zoonoses occurrence, and health policy formation.Discussion: Mitigation of the global risks to public health require a collaborative approach by health professionals. Our findings suggest that MD and DVM students are unaware of many factors that impact patient health outside of their own discipline. The inclusion of dual degree students revealed novel insights that undertaking an MPH may have enabled them to be more aware about the interdisciplinary relevance of OH to their professional practice. We recommend that structured incorporation of OH should inform future medical and veterinary curricula.
