International Board of One Health Examiners

The One Health Workforce | Next Generation project aims to empower employees engaged in protecting public health through implementation of One Health-based solutions to global health problems, including preventing spillover events, disease outbreaks and pandemics, and chronic diseases arising from the interaction of humans with animals, plants and ecosystems. The establishment of a credential through examination-based certification that is updated through continuing professional development credit is essential for the envisioned empowerment. Therefore, the International Board of One Health Examiners (IBOHE) consists of subject matter experts and professionals who have implemented core competency-based training at universities across in AFROHUN or SEAOHUN. To fill potential gaps in expertise, members of the Global Consortium and renowned thinkers on the One Health framework from various parts of the world will be invited to participate in IBOHE.

Board Responsibilities
  1. Drafting and reviewing questions based on One Health core competency domains for the certification examination.
  2. Establishing eligibility criteria for trainees seeking to sit for the One Health Certification Examination, including, for example, previously passing a mentored experiential learning activity coordinated through a practicum course or internship project, and experiences that can only be attested through direct observation.
  3. Establishing pass/fail thresholds for performance in the certification examination.
  4. Sensitizing accrediting bodies, professional organizations, and potential employers of pre-service trainees and supervisors of in-service trainees; and convening authors to submit a proposal for a Study Guide for One Health Certificate examination.
