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.
