I recently completed the online Specialization course "Epidemiology in Public Health Practice", provided by The Johns Hopkins University through Coursera. The specialization aimed to provide the basic knowledge to understand epidemiological studies and monitor diseases, focusing on the public health setting. Course program: - Essential Epidemiologic Tools for Public Health Practice - Data and Health Indicators in Public Health Practice - Surveillance Systems: The Building Blocks - Surveillance Systems: Analysis, Dissemination, and Special Systems - Outbreaks and Epidemics

🎓✨ Good news! I am happy to share that I have just completed the Coursera specialisation "Epidemiology in Public Health Practice" at Johns Hopkins University! 📚 This 5-course specialisation gave me an in-depth understanding of epidemiological methods, data analysis, and practical strategies for solving current and future health problems. Many thanks to JHU for this valuable learning experience. As always, everything is at the highest level! #Epidemiology #PublicHealth #JohnsHopkins #LifelongLearning

Today is World Field Epidemiology Day! We're proud to highlight CDC’s landmark Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) and the dedicated field epidemiologists we train worldwide. These incredible disease detectives are on the frontlines of global health emergencies, responding to public health crises – from Marburg disease and Ebola to cholera and COVID-19 – working tirelessly to keep communities safe. Discover how CDC is empowering disease detectives and innovating the way we respond to disease threats around the world: https://bit.ly/4ecmTJY.

Creating #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay (September 7) is the most meaningful thing I’ve done in my career so far. Now in its 4th year, this campaign aims to highlight the invaluable contributions of field epidemiologists to the health of their communities worldwide. Field epis are unsung heroes in public health, working in every country on every health issue imaginable, sometimes in challenging or dangerous environments. Often, their work is not well understood (even in the field of public health), and they may not have a clear career path before them after finishing their training. And yet, their work is critical to identifying and stopping outbreaks before they devastate communities. I’m glad to see that, 4 years into the campaign, more individuals than ever have been inspired to post and share about their work and personal stories. The theme of this year’s campaign centers on the importance of collaboration. I want to acknowledge that the development of World Field Epidemiology Day was, itself, a successful collaboration. While I was a member of the TEPHINET team, I had the idea, got buy-in from leadership at TEPHINET Secretariat, The Task Force for Global Health, Inc., and our close partners and funders at CDC. As we worked together to make the campaign a reality, we sought input from a network of ~80 field epidemiology training programs around the world, the regional networks that support them, and dozens of orgs that signed up as official partners of the campaign in its very first year. And then, of course, there was my own team, TEPHINET’s comms and events team, whose amazing members understood the spirit of the whole thing right away, and worked hard to make it a success. In the wake of the pandemic, the campaign felt even more relevant and meaningful. On the first #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay in 2021, I was so excited to see a tweet from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus that I printed it out and taped it to my office wall. Yes, it feels incredible to see high-profile public health figures and organizations participating in your fledgling campaign, but the real test of whether this was a meaningful endeavor was whether actual field epidemiologists would care. It has therefore been extremely gratifying to see individuals using the opportunity of World Field Epidemiology Day to share more about themselves and their work. You are all making a positive difference in the world, and you deserve to feel seen. Great work is often personal, and this was no different. While getting to know the field epis we worked with at TEPHINET, I had a sense that I’d found a community of kindred spirits. I was motivated to make this idea a success because I wanted to honor people I’d come to genuinely care about. Thanks to the members of the TEPHINET team who keep this campaign going. (Of all the posts made yesterday, I decided to share CDC’s because there’s something pleasantly full-circle about your current employer participating in something you created!)

I am thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Specialization in Epidemiology in Public Health Practice by Johns Hopkins University on Coursera! This comprehensive specialization was an incredible learning journey, equipping me with advanced tools and techniques to better understand public health challenges and contribute effectively to improving health outcomes. Key Learning Outcomes: ✅ Mastered core epidemiological concepts, including study design, outbreak investigation, and public health surveillance. ✅ Gained insights into interpreting and analyzing epidemiological data for informed decision-making. ✅ Explored practical applications of epidemiology in addressing global health issues such as infectious disease outbreaks, chronic diseases, and health disparities. ✅ Developed a stronger understanding of risk assessment and the role of epidemiology in public health policy formulation. #Epidemiology, #PublicHealthPractice, #Spatial_DataScience, #ContinuousLearning #GISForPublicHealth #SpatialEpidemiology

I recommend the Public Health Basics Package course offered by the Public Health Authority of Saudi Arabia ; Public Health Academy! This program covers many topics, including Public Health, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Clinical Research, Report Writing, and Questionnaire Formulation. It's a helpful resource for anyone interested in the field of public health. #publichealth #epidemiology #biostatistics #clinicalresearch #reportwriting #questionnaire #course #saudipublichealthacademy

The 2024 Epidemiology Capacity Assessment from Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and the Big Cities Health Coalition outline the unmet workforce and capacity needs in applied epidemiology across U.S. state, territorial, and large urban health departments.   The ability of the U.S. public health system to protect us from current and emerging health threats is at stake. The capacity to deliver essential epidemiology public health services for the U.S. has declined — and is in danger of declining further due to lack of sustained federal funding, especially with the end of COVID-19 funding.

🎉 Proud to Share an Achievement! 🎉 I'm thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed the Public Health and Epidemiology Specialization by Imperial College London on Coursera! 🎓 This specialization has equipped me with essential skills and knowledge, including: 📊 Calculating and interpreting measures of disease frequency and association. 📉 Quantifying association using risk and odds ratios, and distinguishing between association and causation. 📝 Designing and comparing various epidemiological study designs, such as cohort, case-control, and randomized controlled trials. 🕵️♂️ Identifying and addressing different types of biases and confounding factors in epidemiological studies. I am eager to apply these skills to my daily work. #PublicHealth #Epidemiology #Coursera #LifelongLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment #HealthCare #GlobalHealth
