One Health, One Vision: Tackling AMR and Emerging Disease Threats

Empowering tomorrow's leaders to drive one health solutions

March 11 - 14, 2025  -  Hotel Arts, Calgary, Alberta

Host Organizations

Antimicrobial Resistance – One Health Consortium (AMR-OHC) is a pan-Alberta collaborative platform focused on antimicrobial use and resistance research, innovation, policy, training, outreach, and commercialization. We use a transdisciplinary, multisectoral One Health approach, to promote self-sustaining clinical, epidemiologic, basic and social sciences, and translational research on AMR in Alberta that will be scalable to all of Canada.

Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Network (CAN-AMR-Net) is a One Health research training platform, bringing together experts from over 25 institutions in Canada and internationally. With five hubs across the country, CAN-AMR-Net’s main goal is to tackle AMR through transdisciplinary approaches, preparing the next generation of researchers and practitioners while enhancing employability and career growth.

Canadian One Health Training Program for Emerging Zoonoses (COHTPEZ) is a training platform spanning over 20 universities and affiliated organizations, government agencies and not-for profit
partners that will develop a connected community of highly skilled Canadian leaders to identify and prevent disease threats, limit their impacts on humans, animals and ecosystems, and work collaboratively to build health capacity.
