Outbreak Training

CIFOR wanted to learn what types of foodborne disease outbreak detection and investigation training courses were currently offered across the nation with the goal to increase the availability of these courses, so the CIFOR Training Workgroup was created with the support of CDC, CSTE, and NEHA. Members include representatives from federal government agencies, state health departments, local health departments, and non-governmental organizations. The Workgroup’s purpose and objective is to obtain information various foodborne disease outbreak detection and investigation training courses, evaluate the training courses, provide recommendations to address training gaps and areas of improvement based on the evaluations, and then make recommendations to CIFOR. For more information on the Training Workgroup, please contact Vanessa De Arman with NEHA at vdearman@neha.org.
