Advancing knowledge to strengthen public health policies and interventions
World Field Epidemiology Day (#WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay) is a global movement to recognize and raise awareness of the vital role of field epidemiologists in protecting the health of populations and advancing global health security, and to advocate for increased investment in field epidemiology training, research, and professionals.
The pandemic has brought unprecedented visibility to the work of field epidemiologists, but this visibility has not always resulted in understanding the importance of field epidemiology, nor in the increased support needed to strengthen public health systems around the globe to better detect and respond to outbreaks.
We invite you to join World Field Epidemiology Day through action, communication and advocacy. Share your work and your stories online, organize an event, and call on leaders to take action. Together, we can make a strong case for increased support and investment in field epidemiology for the health and security of the world.
World Field Epidemiology Day is coordinated by TEPHINET, a program of The Task Force for Global Health. TEPHINET is the global network of Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs). Learn more at tephinet.org.
