Descripción
This document details the guidance for criteria to develop continuing education (CE) programming in field epidemiology. The document provides information for minimum guidance to implement a CE programme at the country level. The need for field epidemiologists to strengthen a country’s capabilities in disease surveillance, outbreak investigation and response is recognized by the global health sector. Several countries already have applied epidemiology training programmes (e.g., FETP, FETPV,ISAVET) to develop or strengthen these capabilities.FAO, WHO and WOAH recognize that One Health is an integral part of these programmes, in accordance with the definition of One Health from the One Health High-Level Expert Panel.
