FETP Learning Advisory Council

Within the context of the 2017-2020 strategic plan of the TEPHINET Secretariat, as well as the emerging landscape forming in response to the Global Field Epidemiology Roadmap, TEPHINET has established the FETP Learning Advisory Council (FLAC) to assess and advise on learning initiatives within the global field epidemiology training program (FETP) community.

The ultimate mission of the FLAC is to develop a comprehensive new learning strategy for the FETP enterprise and support its ongoing implementation in order to ensure a well-trained and professional global field epidemiology workforce prepared to address evolving public health priorities.
