Dr. Jim Steele received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Michigan State College in 1941 and a Master’s of Public Health from Harvard University in 1942. Early in his career, he established the veterinary division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1947. He then boldly introduced the principles of veterinary public health to the U.S. and over sixty countries around the globe, helping to plant seeds for the resurgence of the One Health movement. His outstanding medical achievements have saved countless human and animal lives and has helped the world to realize higher standards of living through a better understanding of the epidemiology of diseases shared by animals and man—the zoonoses.
