title: 'One Medicine - One Health' at the School of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania - the first 125 years.
abstract: The University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet), in partnership with other veterinary schools and health professions, is positioned well to advance an international 'One Medicine - One Health' initiative. Founded in 1884 by the University's Medical Faculty, the School has been a leader in moulding the education and practice of veterinary medicine in the nation and the world. Successfully integrating biomedical research into all aspects of veterinary medical education, the School has made significant contributions to basic and clinical research by exemplifying 'One Medicine'. In looking to the future, Penn Vet will embrace the broader 'One Health' mission as well.
