Canadian One Health Training Program on Emerging Zoonoses

About Us

The Canadian One Health Training Program on Emerging Zoonoses (COHTPEZ) is a connected community of highly skilled researchers, professionals, and leaders in various disciplines, formed in 2024. Together they work, collaborate, and innovate to build sustainable and resilient integrated health systems, and to accelerate the implementation of One Health to better prevent and respond to current and future threats caused by emerging zoonotic pathogens, including viruses, fungi, parasites, and bacteria, among others. 

Through this program, highly competent personnel capable of excellence in health research on emerging zoonoses will be trained with a One Health approach. Training focuses on specific skill gaps and anchors all trainees in a shared and equitable vision for the health and wellbeing of humans, animals, and ecosystems, thus facilitating the potential to create a cohesive and collaborative workforce that is ready to act to protect humans, animals and ecosystems in Canada and globally from the next zoonotic threats.
