Projects
One Health Summer Institute (OHSI) 2023 is an in-person one week program in Kananaskis Country focusing on a One Health approach to climate change in montane ecosystems. Using class and field-based learning, you will learn about the impacts of climate change on the health of interconnected and interdependent ecosystems. You will learn that scientific inquiry from different disciplinary perspectives and engaging people on all sides of the challenge, can lead to more constructive, sustainable, and socially just solutions.
This training is comprised of two sections:
Section 1: Fundamentals of Biostatistics, will serve as a fundamental foundation for participants to understand the basic concepts of biostatistics with a focus on statistical testing in research studies.
Section 2: Applied Statistical Modelling for Data Analysis in R, will cover basics of applied statistical modelling.
Having a comprehensive understanding of AMR and how to address its rising threats requires a holistic approach- referred to as One Health.
The AMR: A One Health Approach Seminar Series provides various approaches to address AMR issues in a wider context that is important and practical for sustainable development of control strategies.
Annually, hundreds of Consortium members (Principal Investigators, Co-Investigators, and trainees from across Alberta), as well as international Scientific Advisory Committee members come together in Banff to network, collaborate, and share exciting research advancements in the AMR field.
