Dr. Kimberly I. Tumlin’s purpose is to advance the asset-based resilience in populations with trauma histories. Her research at the Center for Innovation in Population Health builds on the growing evidence that development of strengths outcomes contributes to transformative healing in specialized populations including Indigenous communities, persons with disabilities, and those with neurodivergent conditions. In July 2023, Dr. Tumlin established the Equine-Assisted Collaborative for Health (EACHpartner.org) to create a collaborative space joining people and data together for understanding the impact of equine-assisted practices on the lives of people. In addition, as the Director for Research for the Equestrian Athlete Initiative in the UK Sports Medicine Research Institute she combines her lifelong equestrianism to research concussion recovery, access to athletic training care, and mental health in equestrian sport.

CPH 616 One Health Systems (Online Course)

Using a One Health Systems lens, the course content will demonstrate how human, animal, plant, environmental, and ecosystem health are interconnected. The field of One Health is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control as an important approach to understanding existing and emerging disease, as well as how disruptions in environmental or animal health can directly impact the economic, social, and cultural aspects of human health. This course is divided into three modules. The first emphasizes approaches to the complexity of One Health Systems including upstream drivers of disease potential. The second module will focus on macro-level relationships in One Health practice. The final module will address contemporary topics affecting health. This course is a blended experience of recorded instructor lectures, guest speakers, recordings of conference proceedings, independent reading of articles, and case studies to explain the constructs of One Health Systems in local, national, and global perspectives.
