Forty participants from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Universiti Malaya (UM) with a variety of background attended the training. Participants were introduced to the training through several talks on One Health, ecosystem, wildlife population, wildlife zoonoses, and also disease management before they went for field observation in Kuala Tahan National Park. Students were allowed to engage with PBL cases and discussed in the group helped by their facilitators. With field observation and PBL cases discussed, students learned more than what they have bargained for in this training and hope they will spread the positivity of One health in their universities.
