Veterinary public health covers a broad area of expertise including some activities which have more animal experience and others that have more human experience. Yet for all public health activities, the goal remains the same: to reduce the amount of disease and injury, premature death, disease, and injury produced discomfort and disability in our human population. Therefore, VPH students must complete at least 1 credit of field experience in a human public health setting and relate their activities to the common goal of public health. A VPH student who chooses an animal-intensive experience such as participation in an emergency disease task force (like Exotic Newcastle Disease or Foot and Mouth Disease) for part of their field experience to learn about Incident Management Systems must complement this with at least 1 credit of field experience in a setting like a public health agency.
