One Medicine Concept
The "One Medicine Concept" reflects the intimate connection between human health and animal health (i.e. the absence of any clear dividing line between animal and human medicine), and is intrinsic to our programme. As a result, on this campus, there is integration of dental, human and veterinary medicine curricula.
