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.
We're excited to announce the campaign theme for #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay 2023!
Around the world, field epidemiologists serve all people. As such, it is especially important to ensure that the field epidemiology profession is inclusive and accessible.
Join us on September 7! https://t.co/I3T5LbZyeZ

September 7th is set aside annually as World Field Epidemiology Day. Epidemiologists or Disease Detectives are specialised professionals who respond to public health emergencies by identifying the cause and those at risk and devise ways to stop it.
