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 several 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 are
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.
