ISOHA launched a pilot Mentorship Program this year after receiving strong interest from both mentors and mentees. Ultimately, over 230 students representing 34 countries were matched with over 150 professionals from 41 different countries and with a vast range of backgrounds including veterinarians, doctors, engineers, and social scientists. Thanks to their hard work and dedication to the program, interdisciplinary One Health networks expanded around the world. Please see the
First Annual ISOHA Mentor Program
newsletter summarizing the program highlights. We are inspired by the international connections, meaningful conversations, and professional relationships that have developed through this program.
