Developing a health security workforce
Since 2013, we've delivered field epidemiology and rapid response team training programs across the Asia-Pacific.
What we do
-
We help country teams plan, design and deliver all three tiers of field epidemiology training, including One Health FETPs. Whether you're commencing a new program or strengthening an existing one, our support spans the full cycle, from Theory of Change consultations through delivery and mentoring, to the procedures, governance and accreditation groundwork that keep programs running.

Working with WHO-GOARN and national stakeholders, we've developed a five-phase RRT training model tailored to the Pacific: initiation training, after-training review, competency-based technical training, a second review, and a field simulation exercise. Because outbreak and disaster response routinely draws in defence alongside health, we also offer dedicated desktop scenarios and simulation-based training to strengthen civil-military coordination.

Our team of field epidemiologists and curriculum designers can review and contextualise your curriculum using adult learning theory. Interactive case studies, role plays, simulations and peer-to-peer learning create an enriching and more effective learning experience for trainees. Learn more

We design and deliver training-of-trainer programs that build the competency and confidence of your national and subnational facilitators. Programs are tailored to your needs and can cover field epidemiology competencies, mentoring and facilitation skills, and curriculum design and development. Learn more

Graduation shouldn't end the learning pathway. Our short courses and alumni engagement programs keep your workforce sharp and applying their skills, while sustaining the connections and peer-to-peer learning that keep alumni networks active. Learn more

We develop online and blended materials to complement face-to-face training. Free refresher courses cover outbreak investigation, Excel, surveillance basics and RRT training, and can be contextualised for your program. Learn more
-
Our team developed an FETP impact evaluation framework and has applied it across all tiers of FETP training. We can support you to evaluate your own program or conduct an independent evaluation on your behalf, and we can review and strengthen your routine program monitoring and evaluation. Learn more
-
We co-design and conduct research in partnership with national colleagues, informing decision-making during public health emergencies and ensuring training is evidence-based and aligned to local needs and lived experience. Learn more
