Zoobiquity works to foster interprofessional communication, collaboration, and learning among students in different health professions about what is shared between human and animal medicine. Zoobiquity stimulates future health professionals to ask, “do animals get ___? Do people get ___?” and generates unique perspectives for any career in the healthcare community. All health science students are welcome.
