We Hosted 3 Interactive Learning Sessions at the TEPHINET Global Scientific Conference in Panama: Here's What We Shared
We were pleased to be able to host three Interactive Learning Sessions (ILS) at the 11th TEPHINET Global Scientific Conference in Panama in September. Thank you to all of our colleagues who joined us from around the world to learn together. If you joined us, please stay in touch and if you weren’t able to make it, we would love to connect and share resources with you from each of the sessions.

Session 1
The ILS on Continuous Quality Improvement in FETP Curricula provided practical steps for participants to embedding a quality improvement process into their programs. Resources are available to download here, including the steps in the process and some of the tools for gathering information and aligning a curriculum.

Session 2
The Operationalising FETP Impact Evaluation ILS was focused on the practical aspects of evaluating the impact of a FETP. The participants provided input into a draft impact evaluation framework that was co-designed by FEiA and the Impact Institute. There is growing interest amongst the global FETP community to conduct impact evaluations to guide the development and optimisation of programs. We have materials from this session (and others) available at our Resources page.

Session 3
The aim of the Centering Women in the Planning and Delivery of Field Epidemiology Training Programs ILS was to engage the field epidemiology community to determine how to focus a gender analysis of FETPs. Participants were invited to consider if and how gender intersects with field epidemiology training, including by describing the barriers and enablers to participation and reflecting on how gender is considered in the design and delivery of FETPs. The session culminated with participants developing a path forward for a gender analysis that can highlight how to support gender sensitive and inclusive field epidemiology training.
