Online Course: Excellence in Exhibition: Preventing Disease in Animals and People

The Center for Food Security and Public Health (CFSPH) at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with the Iowa Department of Public Health and with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists created an online course to teach youth about zoonotic diseases, "Excellence in Exhibition: Preventing Disease in Animals and People". The course is meant to encourage showmanship and animal involvement while keeping both animals and humans safe and healthy. The course is available to anyone free of charge through at http://www.BlueNotFlu.org.

The course is divided into six lessons. The first three lessons focus on specific zoonotic diseases, such as influenza, and ways to prevent transmission to humans and animals. Two additional lessons are presented as case studies, and the sixth lesson highlights agencies and career opportunities in One Health--the health of animals, people, and the environment. Estimated completion time for each lesson is 20-30 minutes. A certificate of completion with the student's name, chapter or club, and county is provided at the end of each lesson.

This course can be taken independently by anyone at any time, but is targeted at youth aged 13-18 years.
