our values
Who We Are
One Health Medical Association is a group of students who are dedicated to the concept that the health of people is closely connected to the health of all species and our shared environment. We support the global One Health Initiative and are dedicated towards unity between professionals from various health disciplines to create an innovative and holistic approach to improve health and make a positive impact on our planet. We serve as a forum for discussion and a source of information on issues facing animals, peoples, and places in hopes of spreading awareness and training Binghamton students to become advocates for these issues. We recognize development as a professional to be our core focus through organized involvement and collaboration between physicians, veterinarians, research scientists, and more. We welcome all interested students and faculty to join our initiative and invite newcomers to help expand our mission!

What We Do
To approach and overcome complex health issues, One Health must be embraced across disciplines hence we foster communication through speaker conferences and symposiums between professionals from diverse health fields. OHMA also helps students build connections and get involved in service events. We seek to increase awareness of One Health through discussing approaches to address local and large-scale societal-level health challenges incorporating several fields of study like Comparative/ translational medicine, research, Environmental health & conservation, Veterinary medicine, sociology, and more!
Our Focus
One Health Medical Association’s education and networking support spans many areas including discussion topics with the aim to create an interdisciplinary partnership between healthcare, animals, and the environment to advance medicine and public health and address the social determinants of health.
