The importance of understanding the connections between animal and human health reached new heights due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this has long been a rich area of study and it’s also the foundation of the long and impressive career of today’s Raise the Line guest, Dr. Sue VandeWoude, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University. Before assuming that role, Dr. VandeWoude was Director of CSU’s One Health Institute, an interdisciplinary center dedicated to advancing translational science. In this revealing conversation with host Hillary Acer, you’ll learn about developments in research and teaching in this area, what’s behind a curricular overhaul at the school, and about plans to enhance collaboration between basic science faculty and clinical instructors at CSU.
