The Global Health Institute (GHI) 2015 was conducted with the goal of advancing One Health Leadership, recognized as a critical area of global interest. The program offered nine track courses, enabling participants to select pathways that complemented and enriched their leadership experiences. With strong participation from young researchers as well as mid- to senior-level professionals, the program provided an important platform for knowledge sharing and exchange of current updates in the field. To maximize its impact, GHI 2015 combined the One Health Leadership course, four specialized track courses, and a dedicated researchers’ conference.
