12th TEPHINET Scientific Conference and the Global Field Epidemiology Partnership Forum
June 2 - June 5
The Global Field Epidemiology Partnership (GFEP) invites you to the 12th TEPHINET Scientific Conference and the Global Field Epidemiology Partnership Forum, which combine a traditional TEPHINET Scientific Conference and the GFEP Forum. The theme of this event is “Enhancing Field Epidemiology through Collaborative Surveillance.”
The event by TEPHINET is co-sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) with support from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This event is a new configuration of the traditional TEPHINET Global Scientific Conference for Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) and their residents/fellows, and for the first time will include a track that convenes a wider range of global health partners to strategize, coordinate, align, amplify, and strengthen field epidemiology capabilities. The formation of the Global Field Epidemiology Partnership (GFEP) in October 2023 with the WHO and the CDC revealed the need for broader participation of key stakeholders and topics that support FETP, and realizing this need, the conference brings together both the technical and strategic arms necessary to achieve the goals for field epidemiology capacity development.
This conference will give attendees an opportunity to engage with epidemiologists, laboratorians, data informaticians, and key partners from the global field epidemiology training program network and premier public health institutions who are at the forefront of novel and innovative field epidemiology, surveillance and emergency response. Meet, learn from, and get inspired by people from all over the world.
