One Health expands our awareness of the continuum between species and the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This perspective is in demand to face the challenges in the coming decades. The One Health paradigm is gaining traction in many areas of physiological, mental, and community health because of its broad and integrative perspective. It has received particular support as a result of the COVID pandemic since a One Health lens is crucial to understanding zoonotic diseases. This Evolutionary Medicine and One Health Specialization invites pre-professional pathway students with a curriculum that is designed to integrate with pre-medical and pre-veterinary requirements. Yet, it is also flexible to the needs of students who are interested in applied work and research. Evolutionary Medicine can serve as a crucial foundation for One Health, informing the similarities, differences, and critical aspects of decision-making.
