Abstract

Introduction

The integration of One Health principles within pharmacy education addresses the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, equipping future pharmacists to handle complex health issues, including antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases.

Perspective

Embedding One Health into pharmacy curricula involves comprehensive curriculum mapping, interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities, and experiential learning. Collaborative efforts across pharmacy, veterinary, and environmental fields enhance students' understanding of interdisciplinary health challenges.

Implications

Institutions should incorporate One Health competencies into accreditation standards which may allow each discipline to reflect on its unique contributions and responsibilities within interprofessional practice. This strategic integration will support the academic community in preparing pharmacists who are skilled in addressing global health challenges through a holistic, collaborative approach.
