One Health Participatory Surveillance Workshop

With experience building numerous One Health participatory surveillance systems across the globe in low and middle income countries, the Academy’s plans to bring this approach at scale throughout Arizona. Input from state and local health officials is at this workshop is essential to ensuring relevance, feasibility, and impact.

 This highly interactive workshop will: 

• Explore participatory surveillance as a complement to existing systems
• Discuss current opportunities and challenges for One Health surveillance
• Help inform the design and priorities of EpiHack Arizona 

Following this workshop, we will host “EpiHack Arizona” in May 2026 (see attached two-pager). This weeklong immersive event, multisectoral partners will co-create a One Health participatory surveillance system to detect the earliest signal of a potential epidemic or pandemic emanating from humans, animals, or the environment within the State of Arizona.
