Pesticides from All Sides: A One Medicine Approach to Pesticides

The program is designed to encourage human, animal, and environmental health professionals to come together to improve awareness and understanding of the topics from a One Medicine perspective and to foster objective, intellectual discussion across disciplines.
Conference Objectives
- Describe the history, regulation, and current status of pesticide use as it relates to people, animals, agriculture, and the environment.
- Describe the intended and unintended effects of pesticides on humans, animals, and the environment.
- Discuss how the “One Medicine” concept of close cooperation between the human, animal, and environmental health disciplines relates to the uses and effects of pesticides.
