What is Veterinary Public Health?
The field of Public Health concerns the management of human health at the community level. This contrasts to other aspects of medicine where treatment is frequently focussed on the individual. Public Health often involves methods of disease prevention (e.g. vaccination, sanitation, etc.).
Veterinary Public Health concerns all areas of Public Health that can be protected or improved by Veterinary Medicine.
