Workforce Development

EMPHNET designs, implements, and supports training courses and programs to address identified needs of public health students and professionals. Our training courses and programs are customized to country and regional contexts and are designed to build practice-based knowledge in applied epidemiology, emergency preparedness and response, immunization programs, interpersonal communication, biorisk management, public health during mass gatherings, one health, climate change, research, and more. To accommodate trainee preferences, we offer learning in a variety of formats: face-to-face, online, and blended. Our role as a network of FETPs enables us to create learning opportunities for existing programs while leading support for the establishment of new ones of various modalities. We also integrate fundamental concepts of field epidemiology, and more broadly applied epidemiology, into training curricula that essentially target professionals from the non-FETP field to extend this essential knowledge to as many public health workers as possible.

Contributions

Leading online learning for public health in the EMR

Establishing the International Academy of Public Health (IAPH)

Supporting the establishment of new FETPs

Launching the EMPHNET electronic library (EEL)

Designing the Public Health Empowerment Program (PHEP)

providing training in a range of public health disciplines

Developing an online platform specialized for public health while customizing face-to-face training to online and blended learning

IAPH is the first public health academy to offer practice-based learning in the EMR and beyond

New programs in various modalities were established

EEL is a specialized public health electronic library in the EMR and beyond

PHEP was implemented in high priority countries where it expanded the workforce knowledge in fundamentals of applied epidemiology

Public health workers from different countries took part in training for Rapid Response Teams disease surveillance, biorisk management, scientific writing, and more
