2023 One Book One Campus Activities

 

This will be the seventh year of the One Book One Campus program organized by the CU Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CU CIPE).  This program is designed to bring students and campus community members together across professions around shared and relevant health care related issues.  

We’re excited to announce this fall’s One Book One Campus selection, organized by the Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CU CIPE). This year the book will be What the Eyes Don’t See by Mona Hanna-Attisha. The book is her eye-opening and inspiring account of the Flint, Michigan water crisis. It highlights a number of themes relevant to health care - structural factors contributing to health inequity, the power of interprofessional teamwork, and the concept of One Health.

What is ‘One Health’?

A One Health approach promotes collaboration, communication, and coordination among healthcare providers across human, animal, and environmental health to enhance the well-being of both people and animals. At the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, we can better prepare our health professions students to address the complex healthcare problems that society and the planet face by raising awareness of the One Health approach. An interprofessional approach extending to experts in fields such as public health, veterinary medicine, and climate science is necessary. We must work together to gain insights into and address health threats from the spread of diseases to pollution to global warming and beyond
