Master Reach Teach: Professional Development in Field Epidemiology Training Programs

 

Overview

Our inaugural Master-Reach-Teach (MRT) course will be held in Newcastle, 8-19 July 2024. MRT is a professional development opportunity for graduates of the field epidemiology training programs (FETP) supported by the Field Epidemiology in Action team.

During the two weeks of MRT, the graduates will complete two one-week intensive courses. The courses on offer include an Excel refresher, Data management and analysis and Questionnaire design. All three courses have been specifically designed to meet the needs of the graduates and build on their FETP training.

Fourteen graduates from Papua New Guinea will be supported by an Australian Award provided by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
