THE Epidemiology Bureau of the Department of Health is encouraging interested health care workers in the country, including those in Central Visayas, to apply for the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP).

The agency considers FETP relevant especially during the coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic because FETP graduates or “fellows” conduct Covid-19 surveillance in their areas.

“The FETP fellows are also among the frontline responders in this pandemic. Their epidemiologic skills and knowledge are useful in conducting response activities,” said Dr. Rodolfo Antonio Albornoz, officer-in-charge and director of the Epidemiology Bureau.
