TEPHINET: A Global Network of Field Epidemiology Training Programs

Training Programs in Epidemiology & Public Health Interventions Network (TEPHINET) is a global network of field epidemiology training programs (FETPs) founded in June 1997. With a secretariat based at The Task Force for Global Health in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, TEPHINET is the only fully global network of field epidemiology training programs, spanning multiple regional networks, sub-regional programs, and national programs around the world. Overall, TEPHINET comprises 75 programs working across more than 100 countries. Our member programs have graduated more than 14,000 "disease detectives" worldwide.

TEPHINET’s mission is to empower and mobilize a competent field epidemiology workforce for all people through standardized training, experiential learning, training program quality improvement, mentoring, and knowledge exchanges in order to connect epidemiologists better, faster and with quality across the globe.

TEPHINET’s vision is that all people are protected by a field epidemiology workforce capable of detecting and responding to health threats.
