Master of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE), the Australian Field Epidemiology Training Program, invites you to celebrate World Field Epidemiology Day (WFED) with us on 6 September 2024.

WFED is dedicated to raising awareness of field epidemiologists' invaluable role in safeguarding global public health. It’s a day to celebrate the expertise, dedication, and impact field epidemiologists have in protecting the health of communities worldwide.

This year, our hybrid event will focus on the theme 'Collaboration is Essential to Field Epidemiology.' We’re excited to feature a lineup of distinguished speakers who will share their insights on domestic and international collaborations, as well as meaningful engagement with communities：

• Professor Paul Kelly (Chief Medical Officer and Head of Interim Australian Centre for Disease Control at the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care) presenting on collaboration within the Australian context

• Kristy Crooks (Euahlayi woman. Aboriginal Program Manager, leading the Public Health Aboriginal Team, Health Protection, Hunter New England Population Health) presenting on collaborating with communities

• Dr Gina Samaan (Regional Emergency Director, WHO Western Pacific Regional Office) presenting on international collaboration

We would be delighted to have you join us for this celebration. Afternoon tea will be provided for in-person attendees. Please register your attendance via HUMANITIX by clicking the "Register Now" button or using this link.
