TEPHINET Secretariat

Founded in 1997, TEPHINET is a global network of Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs). FETPs play a critical role in improving global health security by strengthening country capacity to detect and respond to disease outbreaks and other public health threats. Currently, TEPHINET comprises more than 70 programs actively training field epidemiologists in more than 100 countries.

TEPHINET member programs include those with laboratory and veterinarian education components. Overall, TEPHINET member programs have trained more than 14,000 public health professionals to be the “boots on the ground” in the fight against diseases and other public health threats.

The TEPHINET Secretariat is based at The Task Force for Global Health in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
