TU Non-core: One health and eco-epidemiology

Role-playing game to better understand antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

The issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major global concern, with far-reaching implications for human, animal and environmental health.

On December 15, four students with key roles in society took part in a pro and con debate on the "OneHealth" strategy for combating AMR. Each student represented a different perspective: an epidemiologist, a breeder representative, a pharmaceutical industry manager and a health sociologist.

The debate session demonstrated the complexity of the issue of antimicrobial resistance. Students illustrated how each perspective brings crucial elements to the understanding and resolution of this global problem. This stimulating debate, guided by Prof. Catherine Moulia and Prof. Laurent Gavotte, not only enriched the students' understanding, but also underlined the urgency of interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle the AMR challenge.
