VROC One-Health Symposium
The VROC One-Health Symposium is designed for researchers, clinicians, residents, and students in both human and veterinary medicine, aiming to deepen their understanding of the reciprocal significance of veterinary clinical trials in human medicine and vice versa. The symposium is grounded in the concept of "one medicine," which hinges on harnessing insights from naturally occurring diseases in humans and animals to construct parallel, intelligent (smart) clinical trials across diverse disease domains, including oncology, musculoskeletal, and neurological disorders. By fostering collaboration and cross-disciplinary exchange, this approach has the potential to instigate a cultural shift in medical research and practice, reimagining traditional boundaries and expediting the clinical translation and utilization of therapeutic drugs and devices.
The symposium, featuring plenary lectures, roundtable discussions, and graduate student/post-doc presentations, will offer attendees a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge advancements at the interface of human and veterinary medicine, thereby providing them critical insights and positioning them at the forefront of this evolving paradigm.
Learning objectives:
- Examine the interdisciplinary correlation of human and veterinary medicine.
- Identify and bridge knowledge gaps through parallel learning of medical subjects.
- Explore ethical and regulatory awareness of one-medicine trials and research.
- Assess clinical trial design proficiency especially those that involve smart trials.
- Develop competency in data analysis and interpretation.
- Enhance effective learning and communication of this knowledge to diverse audiences, coupled with continuous learning and professional development.
