Be part of the 10th Global One Health Summer Institute

This year will mark the 10-year anniversary of the Global One Health Summer Institute. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Summer Institute shifted from face-to-face to a digital platform starting in 2020. To date, more than 2,900 individuals have been trained from dozens of countries. The 2021 Digital Global One Health Summer Institute (DGOHSI) will run from July 1-September 15. GOHi plans on offering multi-day capacity building training modules, workshops and panel discussions rather than a series of webinars, as well as celebrating the 10th anniversary with various events related to Global One Health.
