Do you know the difference between academic and field epidemiologists? What role should they play in a pandemic? 🧵

'Learning by doing' is the mantra of #FieldEpidemiology training as they tackle case studies & real-life health crises rather than sit in a traditional classroom.

Something must have been a bit different about this program for it to last so long and spread so far and wide. We uncover the secrets of its educational approach in this case study. https://t.co/a2I9DeLGno

Did you know that FETP is more than 70 years old? Now in almost 100 countries, it started with one program. In this article, you can get a feel for how that program trained field epidemiologists 70 years ago.

A proud day as we formally launched the Global Field Epidemiology Partnership co-hosted with @tephinet & @CDCgov

With this initiative, we will identify gaps, leverage institutional strengths & strengthen cohesion amongst stakeholders to develop #fieldepidemiology globally

Possibility of #Postdoc in #viral research in Cambodia with the Virology Unit at IPC. Still time to apply for a competitive #scholarship, but no guarantees. A unique chance to work on the frontlines of #emergingdiseases.

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.
