Epidemiology 101 (Part 1): Introduction to Epidemiology for Non-Epidemiologists

Epidemiology 101 (Part 1): Introduction to Epidemiology for Non-Epidemiologists (November 23, 2020)

Dr. Keren Rozensher and Dr. Andrew Hennefent were the speakers for this webinar. Quickly identifying cases and the exposures that led to their infection are essential to rapid detection of disease outbreaks. In the realm of animal health this is accomplished through conducting trace-in and trace-out investigations, national surveillance programs, and even one-on-one stakeholder interviews. Join the NTEP Epi Trainings workgroup, Event 2.2.43, for the first in a series of epidemiology-related trainings. This 101 course was meant to introduce all field personnel (VMOs, AHTs, State colleagues, etc.) to basic epidemiological terms and principles to prepare them to achieve success in the field. The information in this training was translatable to routine fieldwork, foreign animal disease investigations, and animal disease emergency responses on a national level. The target audience was anyone who works in the field or who may be deployed to the field during a foreign animal disease outbreak response.
