Epi-Ready Team Training
Workshops
NEHA, in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
is pleased to offer a holistic training opportunity aimed at increasing
the competency of EH professionals through education, including teamwork
strategies, and outbreak investigation/reporting, which remains a primary
objective of the course. 50 health professionals will be chosen as teams
to participate at each regional workshop. Teams of participants consist of
no more than three individuals from at least two separate health
disciplines (e.g. environmental health specialist, epidemiologist,
laboratory representative, and public health nurse). Written team
applications are required and will be accepted electronically once the
specific regional workshop announcement is posted, generally 6-8 weeks
prior to the training dates. If chosen, you will be expected to
participate as a group.
