Strengthening health systems and improving health through field epidemiology
OUR WORK
We support National Departments of Health in the Pacific to establish field epidemiology training programs focussed on public health impact.
Our intervention-based intermediate field epidemiology curriculum is unique, as is our One Health Frontline curriculum – tailor made and co-produced for the Pacific context. With our Pacific partners we have co-developed a phased approach to train multi-disciplinary local rapid response teams. We believe training is more than participating in a workshop – we aim for impact and building a culture of life-long learning.
116 Intermediate FETP Graduates from 4 countries.
240 trained Rapid Response Team members from 16 provinces in Papua New Guinea.
61 graduates of our One Health Frontline FETP Program.

CASE STUDIES
A series of case studies based on the intermediate field epidemiology training curriculum used in PNG and Solomon Islands. The case studies have been specifically written to supplement the workshop-based training, but stand alone, so anyone in the world can access and use them. The 5 case studies each cover a different core competency from the field epidemiology training.
