Abstract 


 Vast interactions occur between ecosystems-plants- animals and humans, which are considered a risk of increasing emerging, re-emerging, and spreading of diseases. The concept of one Health is a challenging issue to avoid, and we are ready to respond to these complicated circumstances. Promoting the One Health concept among health workers is a critical attempt to encourage a holistic and collaborative approach to healthcare. One Health emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary cooperation to address complex health challenges and empower them to recognize and respond to the interdependencies between human, animal, and environmental health factors. This approach enhances the capacity to prevent and control the spread of diseases, ensuring a more comprehensive and effective healthcare strategy. This study intends to promote One Health Concept between Iraqi Clinicians via a creative Iraq Clinician Engagement Program (CEP) under the Biological Threat Reduction Program, which serves as a noteworthy example. Intensive training and education programs, interdisciplinary workshops, and seminars were provided for clinicians in different areas in the Al Muthanna governorate to enhance their understanding of the linkage of human, animal, and environmental Health. The results of this study showed that employing a combination of Clinician Engagement Programs can effectively promote the One Health concept, fostering collaboration and improving overall health outcomes across disciplines. In conclusion, this study approved the synergistic effects of training and promotion of the One Health concept to propels the workers in the health sector toward a future where Health is viewed comprehensively- a lot where professionals are practiced at navigating the complicated interconnections between humans, animals, and the environment.
