Special Issue Introduction

One Health recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment are interconnected and encourages multidisciplinary collaboration to better understand and manage issues related to their interfaces. The value of taking a One Health approach has been acknowledged and endorsed worldwide by international institutions and stakeholders, which call for enhanced intersectoral collaboration to better understand and manage the health challenges faced today. However, moving from wish to implementation has proven to be quite challenging. Due to several hurdles, including the currently implemented academic structures and educational policies, organization of curricula, teaching methodologies and student assessment, qualification systems and other related policies, the implementation of interdisciplinary models of education is, to a large extent, underexplored. The lack of understanding of the One Health concept and its relevance to the daily practice of healthcare professionals is an often-raised remark. This highlights the need to teach healthcare professionals working on humans, animals, and the environment how to integrate One Health interdisciplinarity in their practice. This Special Issue of One Health & Implementation Research (OHIR) invites contributions presenting research, reviews, case reports and opinions related to academic education, undergraduate and postgraduate methodologies, accreditation of interdisciplinary education, policy analyses on institutional, local, regional, or international level promoting One Health interdisciplinary education in practice. We particularly look for practices promoting One Health interdisciplinarity at class level, sharing experiences following the implementation of new policies, restructuring, new teaching methodologies or new concepts in education, and assessing the impact of education and training in the practical implementation of interdisciplinary collaboration in daily healthcare on humans, animals, and the environment. We invite academics, students, practitioners, and researchers involved in education and training as instructors, learners' managers, or policy makers, to share their work on this Special Issue. Multidisciplinary teams are particularly encouraged to present their work.
