Background

The Mediterranean Program for Intervention Epidemiology Training (MediPIET) is a

sustainable training program in intervention epidemiology funded by the European

Commission and implemented by Spanish Consortium -National Public Health Institute

(ISCIII) and the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and

Public Policies (FIIAPP)-, and under the scientific leadership of European Centre for

Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The purpose of the program is to consolidate

a competent workforce with the necessary competence in intervention epidemiology to

carry out essential public health functions for prevention and control of national and

cross-border challenges posed by communicable diseases (http://medipiet.eu/web/).

Title of the training module

Food, Waterborne, Vectorborne and zoonotic diseases

Dates, place and venue

18-23rd April 2016.

The training will take place at hotel Radisson Blue Park Athens, Greece

https://www.radissonblu.com/en/hotel-athens and on Thursday 21st April 2016, the

field exercise and laboratory demonstration will take place at the National Public Health

School of Greece.

Learning objectives

Learning objectives of each of the two modules included in this 6-days training, i.e module Module 7- Food and Waterborne diseases and Module 6- Vectorborne and zoonosis, and detailed contents of each section are provided in the next sections of the document.
