Michigan State is uniquely positioned to lead and shape the future of health sciences through integration and collaboration. Our strengths in human, animal and environmental health will position us at the forefront of the One Health movement, allowing us to better anticipate the next pandemic and tackle emerging infectious diseases. Our expertise in health communications can counteract misinformation with evidence-based messaging and advance virtual health care education using artificial intelligence and machine learning. And by creating forward-thinking medical education and research programs, we have an opportunity to address health care workforce shortages in both Michigan and the nation — and equip the next generation of providers to meet society’s unmet and evolving needs and provide the highest quality care.
