TU : 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.

During a class session on December 15, four students playing key roles in society participated in a pro-and-con debate on the “OneHealth” strategy for combating AMR. Each student represented a different perspective: an epidemiologist, a representative of livestock farmers, a pharmaceutical industry manager, and a health sociologist.

The panel discussion highlighted the complexity of the issue of antimicrobial resistance. The students illustrated how each perspective contributes crucial insights to understanding and addressing this global problem. This stimulating debate, led by Prof. Catherine Moulia and Prof. Laurent Gavotte, not only deepened the students’ understanding but also underscored the urgency of interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle the challenge of AMR.
