Module 1: Ethics, Images, and TEPHINET

Online Course: Global Health Photography Ethics for Field Epidemiology Training Programs

Module 1: Ethics, Images, and TEPHINET (12 minutes 48 seconds)

Instructor: Aubrey P. Graham, PhD
About this Course
Each year, TEPHINET receives hundreds of photographs taken by FETP trainees and graduates depicting their work in action. Photography provides a compelling medium through which to illustrate field epidemiology and its impact on public health across communities worldwide. As field epidemiologists routinely work and often photograph subjects in ethically sensitive situations (for example, in taking photographs of children, of patients with medical conditions, or of subjects within healthcare facilities), TEPHINET identified the need to provide information on ethical considerations in global health photography targeting the FETP community. Through a series of six videos, this course will cover topics including photo composition, consent, power dynamics, editing, and caption-writing. PowerPoint slides for each module are available for download for future reference.
