This course provides basic knowledge of intervention epidemiology, including outbreak investigation, surveillance and applied research.
Following the introductory course, fellows spend 23 months at a training site in an EU member state, Norway, Switzerland, the WHO or at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
The modules focus on one or several specific public health topics, such as: computer tools in outbreak investigations; multivariable regression; time series analysis; vaccinology; laboratory methods for epidemiologists.
The Fellowship is funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the EU member states.
The ECDC took over the coordination of the programme on November 1, 2007, as the European Commission funded project components ended in 2007.
